Nobody? They're a big thing in Australia, apparently they haven't caught on in the states. I'm also looking for info on them.

I ended up buying the gw5. I will be hooking up to a 60 gallon in the next few weeks. I will be sure to report back

Never heard of them.
Post a pic so we can see what they look like when running.
I just looked one up.
Nice looking skimmer.
I always have to laugh when a company says
" skimming power nothing like it"

It looks exactly like the now discontinued IceCap K2 line of skimmers. It uses an Eden pump instead of the Sicces used by the K2. Its a shame that they discontinued the K2s and replaced them with the cheaper quality K1 line. I had the K2-120 which seems to be the equivalent to the GW5. It was a very well performing, solidly built skimmer.

Any update on this? I've been looking into them myself

I have had it up and running now for 2 weeks. It is very solid but I am having trouble getting it dialed in. Maybe because the tank is so new?

I put the GW-10 on my display this week and I have already had to empty the cup three times. It is doing a really good job for me so far. It is super quiet too.

Their skimmers are legit! I have the DC-12 on my 180. Super quiet and it just works, period! I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a skimmer. They just work! Not as big here in the states yet but they'll catch on. Really good price point as well.

Working like a charm for approximately a month. I'm intenationally skimming wet due to my huge bioload. I had it skimming dry and it was removing ridiculous amounts of gunk. Super quiet (I know it sounds cliche) but it'd whisper silent. DC controller is straight forward, it just works.

Dry skim

This was working awesome for me for the first couple of weeks, and now I can't seem to get it to dial in correctly out of nowhere. I'm not even sure where to start

GW5. It was working amazing, then overflowed out of nowhere so I adjusted it the other direction and ever since then it's been issues. I sat with it for over 45 min last night trying to slowly tune it and can't get the foam up the neck whatsoever. I'm stumped.
