I got in my skimmer this week and wanted to share some pics. 1st a run down of the skimmer. Not exact measurements but pretty much on point. its about 30H x 15W x Body 8.5" . Made in the USA , Its made stronger then any skimmer i got ,Iive used , aqua C ev180. ati bm 200 , g2 , and a das. non of them compair to the build of this skimmer.

Its been running for only 2 days. so far the foam is about .5" away from tipping into the collection cup. I had to clean it today to get the gunk off the neck , as soon as i put the collection cup back ,turned on the defuser pump and back to skimming. Its not that expensive and if you have the room its a great skimmer.

Here are some pics , once it breaks in ill put up some nog pics.
stock pic , the sicce1 pump is mounted a bit diff now.

its .5" (less the one inch ) away from tipping over the top. the pump is a mesh mod so it will take a day or so to break it in, and a week or so to fully get it to work. but from the looks of it , it seems like its going to pull out some nasty stuff.

i found this skimmer off this thread ,its the 1st pic and post . FOr the price , this skimmer is way awesome and built well. I wish i can let you feel the collection , it was just cleaned and was amazed again on how tuff its built
