In doing some skimmer research I came across this unfortunate info:

thats too bad, great products built by them. hopefully they will come back.

Kyle has given no indication that he is out of business but has quite a back order list. I hope he fulfills them or I am skimmerless on my reef.

 

[Chiefmcfuz]

I am still waiting for a response but it is sad that it will probably never come. Guess I need to find a new skimmer or someone who can make a similar one for me.

Why not buy a Tunze 9002? They work real good.

 

[Chiefmcfuz]

I had the tunze. Sold it to get this skimmer because I was so impressed with the performance on my biocube. Now I am :bunnies:'ed

Chief, why don't you try out the Euro Reef Nano?

Link?

They used to have a better site (IMO) but if you go here http://www.euro-reef.com/ and click on the nano systems icon on the upper right you'll have some custom skimmers pop up.

Also, I don't see the Solana skimmer but I know they have made them. It must all be related to their 'new business model'.. :grumpy:

This was in an email they sent out to me (and other customers) :
