here is good size media reactor for $37 CAD (shipping is +$30)

http://www.reefshops.com/diy-product...he-filter.html
diameter: 21cm high: 38cm 8" inch x 15" high
Would it hold 3L ? but price is sweet though, and looks like ppl on here are are buying from these guys.

WOW, that looks good, for the price. I'd be in on splitting shipping with someone if they were making an order.

This can't actually be true, look at the prices on that website they are WAY out to lunch. They have a similar lighting system to mine for less than $200.00 while I payed over $800.00 retail for mine...

It is likely true pricing but also looks to be cheap Chinese knock offs..... Correct me if I am wrong...

Could be true, I have never heard of any of the brands they are trying to sport.

Prices are for real. I bought my Bubble Magus skimmer from them. Shipping is expensive though. Which light fixture are you looking at? Many of the chinese fixtures use the same parts (especially housings) as other commercial ones that are non-chinese companies manufacturing their fixtures in China.

I lake their skimmers a lot, especially ones with eheim and aquabee pumps, the acrylic part is very well made, and pumps we already know are reliable.
So what do we have to loose ? The web site is real and been around for some time now.
If we look at our equipment how many units are made in Canada ?
