Which swabbie for sro 2000

I will be ordering a skimmate locker next week and would also like to get a swabbie. Reason for the avast vs sro is the smaller size, really tight under my stand since I had to raise the skimmer. So which swabbie and wiper size ? I plan to order a new lid and send it to avast.

Sro 2000int

On Avast's website, they tell you how to measure to get the correct size.

After I opened my eyes, I noticed that. Also, the last WC brought the skimmer to life.

Glad to read this! Let us know your thoughts after getting it dialed in.

FWIW, I recently bought the Avast Swabbie and am close to pronouncing it the best $150 I have ever spent on my tank for equipment. OK, it is a bit fiddly to retrofit to the skimmer lid, but one dialed in it has probably doubled the efficiency of my older ASM skimmer. I have tried lots of skimmer mods of late, and none made as much of an improvement as the swabbie.
