I am sure they are fine skimmers, most PM skimmers are built very well. This might save you a few bucks if you act quick.

thanks for the link geoxman. I was going to buy it but the sales person told me that he is not impressed by this skimmer. He said that vertex is much better. So should I buy a vertex? I also like the octopus needle wheel skimmers. The asm mini skimmer looks like a good option also. Any suggestions? thanks.

I just looked at MD at the reviews on a Vertex and people were'nt liking it becouse of the pump. Funny, people would give it 5stars then turn around and say the pump broke after a couple hours of use. IMO 90% of the skimmer is the pump.

I am also looking into the vertex if you look at the last few pages of the vertex skimmres club thread you will see the changes they made on the gen 2 models. the pump problems where in the first batch and even then there where only a few.

They look similar to the eshopps skimmmers sold at Foster & Smith.
