			 Looking for a little info on any experience with this skimmer. I can get one for under $400 bills brand new but don't really know much about them so any input is greatly appreciated.

			 I run it (inline) on my 120 gal. The job is done right but quite frankly i got mine used for only $50.00 so your best is to shop around a bit!

			 At almost $800 shipped from the states then add custom, duties, broker fee & tax this would be a good deal as it is brand new never used.
