Good deal, That was pretty easy! Now If you want to support local Fish store call Sean and ask If he can match the Price and Buy It from EbayFish. It helps the local economy.

Yes they are, I would let It break in stock and see what It does on your system. With out a real heavy bio load It should be fine stock.
Lastly Only the exact model # Is required they are shipped with the right pumps from the factory. I think you will be very happy with this skimmer!

Got tubes?
I don't think he can get those in. Those aren't CoralVue and he carries the CoralVue skimmers. 
Remember, he may be able to get the Extreme 160, but its not going to have the nice, efficient Sicce that the SWC and ATB Extreme 160 has. They're all ordering from the same factory and shipping out models that are a bit different.
Maybe, though... its still worth a shot.

Ok so they all buy the parts from the same company and modify it and still keep the same name with different model numbers...thats freaking confusing
The CoralVue one has the Sicce pump at AquaCave.com, but the ATB one offers Purple pinwheel which will fit either CoralVue or ATB since they have the exact same pump, the Sicce PSK-2500
The CoralVue one on Aquacave.com says "Features a soft pin wheel impeller as well as a mesh wheel impeller to allow hobbyist the option of which one they prefer to use."
Not only is it the same skimmer, its the exact same picture on both sites lol

The Octo Extreme Is by Coralvue, And Sean should be able to get them! But R.S may have them In stock where Sean would have to order It. Plus you get two Impellars from them, and no Tax.

Yep Aquacave.com and Reefspecialty.com both offer free shipping and no Tax.
Aquacave.com has Skimmer + Soft pin Impeller + Mesh Wheel Impeller + $10 Heavy Item charge= $299.95
Reefspecialty.com has the skimmer($269.95) + ATB small purple pinwheel($29.95) + Mesh($7.95) = $307.85
they have 2 sizes in that ATB purple pinweel, a small and a large but they are out of stock on the large one, same price though

The R.S. 307.85 Is the better deal because of the purple Pinwheel plus there meshmods are done excelently IMO.

These are suggestions only and the final decision Is up to you! The R.S. deal Is a good deal IMO and If I were the one buying I would get that one but you have to decide for yourself. And I agree you can't complain about free shipping!!!
