It is a Jebo and there was a time people were modding them like crazy to make them acceptable, but in stock form it is just another waste of money.

Agreed, 50 dollars for a skimmer should throw off a huge warning flag.

Hey, that's why I posted here. I'm too new to know any better yet.

Never be afraid to ask, you may get multiple and conflicting answers but that is normal.

that looks like the 1st skimmer I ever bought, it is a POS for a skimmer but the pump still works for mixing NSW for over 6 years.

Dan check out the SCA 301 it's inexpensive as skimmers go but it works well.

I agree.........$85 shipped on Ebay direct from SCA.........and it works great. I got mine for $76 shipped about a month ago, special sale they were running.

I'm definitely gonna go this SCA 130 route. It's small enough to fit in my sump and at $80, can't go wrong. Thanks guys.
