Many of you may have seen this but while I was trying to do some skimmer research I saw this bad boy !!

Couldn't help but laugh some at how big it is and then that price tag is more than most of out complete systems.

Yep, very impressive.

Have you seen the skimmers at WEEC? Or better yet, the one at Tennessee Aquarium? Cleaning the skimmer is a task saved for their new volunteers

I saw some pics of the skimmers at Georgia Aquarium so I could imagine. Poor volunteers lol

Maybe it's just me but I would rather clean one of those badboys (I do on a regular basis) than clean out a bucket of bad fish food. Maybe my nose is getting used to skimmer nog but 3lbs of small krill accidentally left in the fridge for a week..... eeeewwwww!

Still, not eactly a picnic when you draw skimmer duty and your day starts out searching for a ladder and a garden hose.

Here's a pic I took of the one used at the Gatlinburg Aquarium. It was massive! I cant wait to see what they are using at the new Aquarium in ATL.

We have a skimmer that is about 7' tall and 2' wide that we use on our Freshwater system at Petsmart. I don't know how, but it pulls out a lot of gunk.

It is made by ASA down in Tampa.

Our entire system was about $80,000. We don't do saltwater, but dangit we are going to do all we can to keep the freshwater fish happy!
