    Hey 3Reefers,
    Thought id post up a review of the SC150 skimmer I just received.
    This skimmer is so very similar to the swc160 and bubble magus nac7.

    The cone design is the exact same as SWC and BM the size is 10" X 7" X 23".
    The pump sits below the skimmer and that is where the extra 4" comes from.
    SC150 comes with Atman 2500 just like the rest. The acrylic is nice and thick.
    It was time to upgrade my skimmer and I was looking at the Reef Octo,BM,and SWC and then saw a review on this one,
    This skimmer is running 100 dollars right now so its more then 50% less the then the name brands this is why I decided to give it a shot.

    So Far I'm very impressed with the quality,packing,and the head of foam so far

    Here is some pix and I will up date this in a few days after it breaks in.

    SCaquariums.com has them and they sale on eBay as well,
    To be honest I'm real blow away by how well this is made but I'm sure time will tell.
    If you need more details on the seller pm me I'll send you details not sure if I can post it here
