dont hold your breathe on the Leopard. While the Skimz body is amazing and the reason why we have adopted them on the CSC range of skimmers using Sicce pumps which has produced phenomenal reviews here on Canreef. Skimz supplied electronics come with a very difficult to manage warranty process.

Because we love the bodies so much and did not want to lose access to such a fine piece of engineering we redeveloped the CSC range using Sicce pumps supplied direct to us where we have full control over the warranties

so for us or anyone to go gung ho into the leapard with their DC pump would be a concern, so for now we are working with Skimz to produce the Leopard with a Sicce pump under our CSC branding.

So far we have not been able to get the performance figures that we require and are still playing around with fine tuning the Sicce to pull enough to run the Leopard. I do not imagine any launch until this Fall.

As always honest frank and open, but important everyone has the right info.

As it stands the CSC 150, 250 and 450 have been exceeded all expectations both in review and sales and this makes us question is there a market for another engineered skimmer to the line
