it's the new won clean-up 200. it is just now out, it's not even on won's website yet. mr won came to our shop last week and brought us 1 of these skimmers to try out, i went ahead and bought 1 and put it on my 55 gal fish tank on wednesday. i think we may be 1 of the first aquarium stores to have this skimmer. it is very well priced and does a very good job.
It's hard to tell from a picture, but I'm not impressed by what I see. It doesn't appear to be making a lot of foam and I don't see the dense collection of air bubbles that I see in better skimmers. The reaction chamber should look like shaving cream. Although the air/water interface is very high in the reaction chamber, most of the crud is still collecting on the walls of the chamber rather than in the cup. I hope it's cheap. 
actually, it appears that i will have to take the skimmer out to clean it. and btw, i have seen a lot of "better skimmers" in 18 years of working at the same marine only aquarium shop , and this one that is going to sell for a tad bit over 200 dollars inc pump performs just as well as skimmers that cost twice as much. what you see in that cup is after 2 days, i have already cleaned it 2 more times since those pics were taken, and it will probably be due for another cleaning tomorrow.sure maybe a euro reef may perform a bit better, but then again you expect a 400 dollar skimmer to do that. i have had quite a few skimmers in my time.(ets,emperor aquatics,kent marine,aqua medic,top fathom,mtc,berlin,the terminator when it was an air driven skimmer,amiracle,excalibur,big mombasa, the over priced oceanic skimmer,). these are skimmers that i have personally tried or owned(i am sure i have forgotten a few)believe me, the crud is collecting on the walls AND in the cup, and it has not even been on the tank a week.
