We are hoping that they come in with the next container shipment from Germany. There is one schedule to leave Germany in a couple weeks and once they have it packed, I will have a better idea of what's coming in with it. We can double check with the factory though as we have been pushing to get more of the smaller mini's here.

I have the same issue, ordered one from Aquarium Specialty said 4 to 5 days now it is 2 to 3 weeks which was a week ago, looks to be longer based on what I just read? No stock in the FL warehouse.

Germany is in process of filling a container, I am awaiting confirmation as to which skimmer will be included, however we have requested MBK's for sure. Quote:
My recommendation would be to contact Aquarium Specialty direct, as they do occasionally order direct from the factory if we do not have stock.

I'd stick to a 180 if you believe your bio load is medium/heavy.

As Marco mentioned, those on the Mini's that RE offers in the US. As mentioned, the Mini 200 would be way to large for a 100 gallon display and would prove inconsistent. The Mini 180 would be much more appropriate with a really heavy load. Heck, even the Mini 160 would be up to the task on a 100 gallon display but if the load is going to be heavy, the Mini 180 would work fine.
