Skimmer suggestions

[Mrfish55]

There is a new Bubbleking/Vertex cone skimmer comming out that looks promising, might be worth waiting to hear the reviews on them.

Whawha what? Where do you find out about it?

I only heard about them last week, great intro pricing as well.
"Here’s a fresh load of details straight from the master acrylicsmith himself. As we first reported several days ago, the fabled Bubble King Cone skimmer is real and it will soon be for sale in the United States. The cone skimmer will be made by RE but it will be marketed under the Vertex brand. The RE-Vertex cone skimmer will be made in four models with maximum diameters from 170 mm to 310 mm (6.5-12 inches). The first batch of the Exclusiv skimmers should be hitting the states in the coming weeks and they will be available for sale, or at least pre-order very soon."
