Addictive sent it to me- it isn't- I just can't dig it up. I saw it and was pretty impressed so they made one to test the market. E-mail them to get the video.

Guys Remember this thread is for skimmers we own, use, have pics of, and can review!!

don't post crap you don't have you will weaken the thread.

Ronen, that's about the color I was getting at first. Let it skim like this for a while until you start filling that cup in 3 days or less. Then restrict the air flow a bit with an airvalve and you will get finer bubbles and a darker skimmate.

I have very low nutrients in my tank due to polyplab.com. Check out how dark the skimmate is- stinks really badly. I have it set for dry now. I will keep you all posted. Thanks, Phil

I got to meet Mavgi from reefcentral today and i also got to check out his famous BM250 from all the threads. All i have to say is that for the price and performance of this thing, i am sold. Those small pumps are all that and then some. I can easily see that skimmer being the best outthere. Man was his skimmer nuts!
