you can buy a skimmer for less but I do think you will get what you pay.Maybe the build quality isn't as solid,who knows.In all reality if the skimmer works well then you get a hell of a deal.The only thing is when you buy a knock off it does detour someone in North America from trying to build a skimmer and marketing it due to cost.Lets face it a skimmer is a piece of plastic or acrylic with a pump.You can build a decent skimmer out of plastic and use a decent pump to make it work right.There are many skimmers that are overpriced.I bought my custom skimmer for a great price and I am happy with it.I am also proud to say that its made in the U.S.A. North Americans are always looking for the next best cheap thing.I myself don't have tons of money but I do prefer to buy American products over china stuff.Its sometimes not always such a bargain.
