I know one person who wouldn't need one of those. He'd need about ten of them.

Somewhere in this thread is a picture of his skimmer. About six feet tall or taller and a couple feet across. And many shark keepers have systems that easily fall in that tank size range.

There are folks who need skimmers that size, but there are other solutions that cost 1/3 or less than that particular model.

If you are a store and need that much yeah.... Alot of retail stores will buy that because they have a lot of water

 

[Jowee]

I worked at an electronic and appliance store before I became tradesman, we had a 7500 gallon setup with some insane filtration on it. I swear the skimmer was taller than me.

This makes me laugh! Save the money and get a years membership to your local aquarium:fish:. I guarantee theirs will look a lot better.

BK 650..... drooooooool :drool:

You might be able to buy a car for it.... but that thing will skim a Buick out of your tank.

But those with the means of doing a tank correctly at the volumes mentioned, the 7-8K for a well built skimmer might not be bad.

Lifetime guarantee on that there 8 grand skimmer???
