Hey, did you guys know that Canreef started as a site selling skimmers and Ca reactors?
Anyone still have one of these units?

Sadly I no longer have this beast as I sold it a few years ago after multiple skimmate flood related near divorce incidents. This thing was huge, I believe it was over 3 ft tall with the collection cup and weighed a ton!
