Yeah the owner of swc was the one who got caught smuggling live rock over the border so yes they are in trouble. I have the swc 120 and love it, if you can find one right now, I would say get it. Eshops just came out with a skimmer that is almost a clone and you can find it (AO has it) but I...

We probably need to update some stickies, this was posted in 2008 and while it is still good there is a ton of stuff that could be added. I am working on doing a ton of content upgrades after the elections.
