    Honestly I'm not sure which pump model it is. I got it from Coral Vue about a month before they were made readily available. As to the price, I paid $125. I'm not sure if what I paid was less because I was sort of previewing it or more because I got it early. Sorry not to be of much help, I really didn't have any frame of reference when I got the pump.

    As far as CV's new cone skimmer goes, they really won't be for sale until late September now, at least thats what Dave at CV is saying....
    The cone's body is almost identical to the Itech 200, or the ATB840, difference with the 840, is that CVs cone is taller... The ATB also pulls like 24SCFH whereas the CVs pulls 50scfh!!! To many skimmer freaks it is too much air for that body!!
    The price is going to be $399 though which is like half of the 840!!!

    The Super Reef Octo that looks just like the Hurricone is going to rip!!!

    I haven't looked into too many skimmers as of late but what about the Vortex cone skimmers. They look sweet!
