The prices will be fixed latest in January and will be some of them cheaper as in the moment stands in the list. the Skimmers are not yet on the market and there are several wheel designs available. The skimmers are extrem easy to set up and stabil in foam production. We produce our skimmers 100 % in germany use original acrylic and original Aquabeepumps. This is not made with chinese price calculation. Best regards claude rgds Claude Hi Michael

I have that foam sitting in a closet for a quarantine tank. Wonder how quick that'd get plugged up. I was thinking the exact same thing regarding the mesh wheel.
