Hey,

has anyone got one of these :

I'm interested to see the experiences, seems like a reasonable price to pay for something quite useful.

Yup, seems to be something pretty new. They also have a cap that has carbon in to cut back on the smell, if you have really stinky skimmate.

Some Red Sea skimmers have something similar as an optional add on. I haven't used one though, so I can't say how well it works. The Red Sea one uses water to wash the neck. It washes it into to the bottom of the skimmer, and then it's supposed to just skim it all back out into the collection cup.

They'll make you a custom one... to fit your specific skimmer, based on sizing, and they don't seem to charge any more for them, so ask :)
