Thanks! There is already like 100000 times more bubbles being made compared to my mini g I was running! So it's a huge upgrade on skimmer for sure just gotta wait for it to start getting all the nasty stuff out. I had no skimmer for About a month

Welcome to the club.

Looks like they changed out the clear acrylic for white acrylic for the bubble plate. Neat!

They alos made the cup larger, neck is the same size diamter of cup is same size. but collection cup goes to near the bottom of neck now instead of starting 2+ inches up from neck... Nothing changes on the skimmer except the cup can hold larger volume of skimmate... guess it was filling up to quickly.

Nice skimmer!!! just wait til it breaks in
