    Doesn't this Bubble Magus use a "China-made" pump? Or did you upgrade the pump?

    I can assure you there isnt anything cheaply made on and bashsea skimmer. Here is the website Home please read up on the quality and operation or even give steve bashie a call and he can personally explain the details on how they work. The skimmers are made to order not mass produced. :) You get what you pay for in this hobby.
