Well I purchased this skimmer from Dez who was selling it from a guy in Edmonton who had for many years and only used it for a short time. It was sitting there collecting dust so Dez sold it to me.
I was just curious if anyone knew at first glance what brand, if any is this skimmer.

It's 6" acrylic with a HUGE venturi. The collection cut is not removable.
Any info would be great! Thanks.

Thanks Alan for setting me up to add pics to my post's I enjoy it.

Hey Jonathan,

Do you have that clam book by Knop? There are pictures of some of the earlier skimmers in there. Maybe we can check out some of those books on our fish run today...

Did you check the net?

Dez,
No I don't have the "clam book"

I did do some searching on the net but not too much. All I could mostly find were newer skimmer link .

Don't worry Tony....

We didn't do a fish run, I went by myself. Just went to riverfront, pisces, wai's and ocean. Nothing too much. I love the sohal tangs at Ocean. Oh btw Jonathan, there are nice mangroves at wai's....$25. Same price as anywhere else...

I asked Danny if he would sell little 1" pieces of acros that had already broken off in his stony tank and he refused. That's wierd, because he already had a big colony of the purple acro...encrusted nicely. Oh well....it's better off trading with friends anyway.
