X3....where did you get that? I was just telling J&L that they should bring WM in.

x4 ... I've been bugging some of my LFS's that already sell other Warner Marine products but no skimmers have shown up as yet.

I actually got it direct from Warner Marine. I had been bugging Jon Warner himself about getting a Canadian distributor when he offered this skimmer up to be the first one in Canada. I leapt at the opportunity and he pretty much sold it to me at wholesale. To be clear (and to Warner's credit) the skimmer came with no strings attached so I can report on it any way I wish.

Warner Marine does not to direct retail so this was a very exceptional circumstance - I guess I got lucky being the most annoying Canadian.

However, Jon did say that they are working on getting their skimmers up to Canada so you should see them hitting our stores soon.

Yeah, I heard that six months ago. If you don't mind please keep pestering him about it. Or if you don't mind, PM me his email so I can replace you as the pesterer..

Here it is installed with a temporary maxijet feed until I can redo all my plumbing for a gravity feed:

Here's what the dwyer air flow meter says (that's 17 lpm or 1020 lph or 37 SCFH):

Here's its first cup o' nog - not bad at all for the first 24hrs with next to no tuning on my part:

And Tony, I am continuing to bug Mr. Warner re: our home and native land. Finding him is no big secret - WM sponsors several of the bigger reef boards including RC.
