No I always like to oogle at monster skimmers.... oh BTW steve that asm site posted earlier sells just the needle wheel pumps if that is what you are looking for.

On the topic of overskimming, I think that we may be getting close with the new larger and more efficient skimmers becoming common. I mean skimmers take out particulates as well as disolved organics. And many of our corals feed in the water column and are not fed directly, so if we take out all particulate matter and free floating microfauna in the tank won't they starve or be undernourished?

I am not taking a side on the overskimming debate but I think there are pros and cons to both sides...
