Then again if you looking for dream skimmers for your new tank there has been a recent surge in Deltecs in my club. There owners can't stop drooling over them. The VP of the club just bought one of these at IMAC.

Ya I say that. Very cool. I wonder what skimmer is going to be able to handle it. Maybe the huge Euroreef, or ASM G6
You could put it on the Bubbleking but it already has a red Dragon on it.

It is funny I have been considering one of these for a little while now since I am a fan over overskimming
http://www.customaquatic.com/customa...=PS-PCRPS-3000
Happens to be an almost perfect copy of the Deltecs that two of my fellow culb members own at less than half the price.

Crappy thing is is that they have been selling so well the price has gone up a $150

BTW the needlewheel dart will basically only be for skimmers well over 12" in diameter. The best skimmer I've seen built for one of the darts was 25.5" in diameter and it was still milked out!
