ATB Skimmer?

[ECFENCING]

Just wondering if anyone on this board uses the ATB skimmer.

There is an active thread on RC.

Spoke to the distributor and he is very nice to deal with.

ATB Small I presume? What made you go to ATB over Deltec, ATI, Euroreef, H&S to name a few...

I'm thinking of getting in for the ATB medium

ATB Small, but for a new tank about 130-140 gallons total.
Keys for me:
1. Victor -anything goes wrong, it'll get fixed and quick
2. unique design, very small footprint, great pump low wattage
3. finally its more reasonably priced IMO than the competition; the small is comparable to most eheim 1260 skimmers which cost about $1200. I've never used a Sicce-driven skimmer, and I do like the looks of the MSX200, but the only company selling them is saying 8-10 weeks and so far I am not impressed with their pump machining (if you've been following their threads). The octo-pro250 looks ok, but probably too big for my tank. The ATB is a good fit for me I think...
