The only thing that i wish they would have changed is the neck size. I've heard from a few owners that they are having problems getting it to skim properly. The skimmer pulls 15-1800lph air and has a 6" neck. A 6" neck needs around 2500lph air on a cylinder skimmer to work well, so a 6" neck needs even more air than that on a cone. This skimmer is comparable to a swc askoll cone or inbetween the atb med and large. Both of the atb and swc pull more air and they have smaller neck diameter. Other than that it looks great.
