Just wondering who in the right mind would pay $9864.89 (after tax) for a skimmer alone?
To justify that, you need a tank with a price tag at least 3 to 6 times as much right?
And what would one keep in that tank a Damsel fish ? LOL

it would be a sweet tank though. can you imagine owning a tank big enough to need that size skimmer. maybe my next tank........i'll bribe superfudge with wobbly pops to help me build it.

Find the price on an equivalent Deltec then compare the quality of build and engineering

I am driving a car that cost less then that. And would you not agree with the fact that it takes SOME engineering skills to build a car ?

this is acrylic and a water pump assembly we are talking about here...Something that called common cense is missing when I see price tags like that .
