if you are not willing to buy the highly respected original unit then dont, consumer choice

What do you do about support? Contact me, why would that change?

I want to buy it but if it is discontinued, what do I do if the pump fails in 90 days, or there is a crack in the volute or ???

hi charles

we still have some in stock , there are new models in the works but as michael mentioned the release date is still a ways away.

these are great skimmers , replacement parts are always available and to be honest i havent had to warrenty one single skimmer since they have been released and i bet ive sold over 50 units throughout canada.

i currently use a 450 home and several at the store with never an issue.

the skimmers are being discontinued but only for the reason of being upgraded to dc , the origional model still works fine and you have my word this is a reliable skimmer and at a great buy that i would recommen]d to anyone....love these skimmers from day one

pm me and ill talk to dave about what i can do to help with pricing on them for you, i believe i have 2 x 250's and 2 x 450's and maybe 4 150's still left.

cheers buddy

Bought a 450 a couple of weeks ago for my breeding setup at Concepts, and man I have nothing but good things to say about this skimmer, it pulls $hit like there's no tomorrow and since this is s breeding setup, I needed a skimmer that could handle a big bio load since a lot of food is going into this setup. Thanks to Denny and Dave for their advice on this monster of skimmer. Skimmer is dead silent and it keeps my nitrates in my setup where i want them to be. Now i'm looking for a 150 for another setup since I've seen what these skimmers can do, I'm sold!!

Any update for an arrival date for the new model?

Yep, we parted company with Skimz after an issue with what we got in terms of quality with the prototypes and what we got as a manufactured final product, apparently if the prototypes were right then it would be our fault if they made the production ones wrong, HUH WTF!! And on first batch - guess what?!!

I guess the extreme quality everyone saw had to come to an end at some point based on the cost!

So we have partnered with BM to make us a new body, a company we can really trust, but this wont be normal BM style, tooling or material used, they are going high end on our guidance. They just moved to a new factory so we have not been able to re start the project, but most is designed. The weir gate is very funky and efficient. I also have a concept in test for a dual cone, but needs to go through some performance testing.

I expect late spring, but hey Rome was not built in a day

Looks neat but I think the pumps inside the housing is crazy.

I can remove my pump, as most others can, without taking my skimmer out of the tank.

That to me would cause me to lose my mind.

Looks good. Probably works good too, but the maintenance, no matter how fast you claim it to be, is doubtable the two minutes you mentioned.

Maybe you could post a video of the two minutes it takes to remove your skimmer, undo the finger screws. Remove two pumps and clean them. I would love to see that.

Maybe I misread, if so sorry about that. But I would never buy a model with enclosed pumps.
