Now, we will admit that we do like limited edition items but this is the first time we have seen it apply to something in saltwater aquaria. The Euro Reef BBE180 is a limited edition protein skimmer and only 19 of these units have been produced. With Euro Reef adding: “fabricated with the highest quality cell cast sheet and extruded acrylic tube material in combination with custom designed CNC and mold injected acrylic and PVC parts. Incredible attention to detail is poured into each of these handmade skimmers along with the pride of each of the skilled craftsmen that assemble them.” The skimmer will handle a medium bioload of up to 180 gallons and retails for about $300.
