i can have a euro reef comparable skimmer made for you. they run about half the price of the euro reef and everyone here that has them says they are just as good if not better skimmers. here is a pic of mine ...

I am a big fan of the Nautilus skimmer. I helped a friend set one up on his 125gallon and it is doing a wonderful job. I really want to buy one but i don't have the run for it right now so maybe sometime in the future :)

Here is a link if you are interested in checking it out (http://www.aquariumpros.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=APG&Product_Code=KENNTE)

iReef, how much are those skimmers?

i can get you one for around $350 - $400 (depends on the pump). mine was a custom job built for my short stand, and was right at $350 with a gen x 4100 needlewheel pump. i am soon going to upgrade to the gen x 6100 needlewheel and use the 4100 as a recirculating pump.

notice the valve on mine ?! it is a $45 option on the euro reef skimmers (comes stock on these).

I have a Euro Reef RC-180. Awesome skimmer. But noisy recirculating pump.
