    In the first week of February, our friends up north at Salt Water Connection are releasing a pair of smaller cone skimmers for the average hobbyist that are sure to be popular - the SWC Xtreme 120 and the SWC Xtreme 160. Both skimmers come with low-wattage / high-performance Atman pumps, nice gate valves and fully disassemble for cleaning. Best yet, they are listed at $199 and $249 respectively. These will move.

    I think these are going to be awesome skimmers for the under 90g crowd. Has alot of potential. Can't wait to test one out.
