A few weeks ago my SWC skimmer pump died on me and since my system is large and well stocked, not running a skimmer would not be a very good idea. I talked to Doug about what I could do and thankfully he was able to get a hold of Dave and Dave recommended a Skimz SM252 skimmer which thankfully he had in stock. Never heard of this skimmer before but it was readily available and looked good on the website (plus I trust Dave and Doug's opinion) so I bought it and Doug brought it up for me and he got it all set up and working. Took about a week to dial it in just right but so far it's been a great skimmer and is quite the beast
Here's the link to the website info

and here's a couple of pic.'s of it in action (cleaned the cup out the day before)
and a video
Highly recommend this skimmer to anyone with a large system
