Mike helped me dial in my SWC150BK - called me long distance on his own dime and spent a good fifteen minutes with me helping me dial it in for peak performance. Great guy, great advice and always looking to help others!

Default Skimmers

When I was trying to decide which skimmer to buy for my tank, The Skimmer Kings advice factored in on my decision and helped me choose the SWC160 Cone.

I am all about DIY (gets me going when I actually build to see the end results)
That said through few back and forth with Mike helping me on different dimensions for few types of skimmers and the end results is a large skimmer with I believe 16" diameter outer clear casing with 10" reaction chamber 36" tall with couple ball valves release and a 10000 bubble blaster running smooth now for 6 mths on my entire system of roughly just under 600glns.Thanks but didn't you ever call me I feel left out

No skimmer advice but lots of PITA txt about everything under the sun with Mikey AKA Jarhead

I did get a kick a$$ deal on a Deltec 702 skimmer though.
