Default Thanks some more

I assume that this is a good skimmer, no one has tried to talk me out of it yet. Any opinions?

Thumbs up

I have had great luck with the swc cone 160. Very quiet, small footprint, easy to clean, pulls the gunk out of my tank very efficiently. No regrets buying it.

I have a SWC 120 cone and a SWC 180 cone. The 120 has the Atman pump and the 180 has the Sicce pump. I replaced the Sicce impeller with a Red Devil and don't have any issues with it. I ran the skimmer for 4 months (it's not on a tank right now) and the 180 has been running for a few months). Both are good skimmers, but the pumps aren't known for their quality by any means. The Skimz skimmers would be a step up from the SWC, but using the same design (which I really like). Part of me wishes I would have bought Skimz instead, but I haven't had any issues with my SWC's...

I don't know any dealers in BC, but sending an email to SWC would probably get you a list of suppliers in BC. Ordering direct is always an option too.
