I was also surprised at the overall size of the unit. My cone has been up and running for about three hours and seems to be working already. Its taking quite a while to build up a foam head but I'm assuming its just breaking in, and what it has built for foam is super thick and nasty looking. Its pretty amazing how smooth and symmetrical the bubbles move up the chamber. I think this skimmer will be a good one but only time will tell. Impressed so far though. The red dragon puts out such fine bubbles, there's almost no turbulence inside whatsoever.
