I'm sure you're right. It seems to be working fine. Nice small bubbles and thick foam. The BM's may not be the most skookum skimmers on the market, but they are reasonably well-built and definitely skim well. For $350 how can you go wrong?

they are a very good bang for your buck! they probably out perform 75% of skimmers in their price range IMO

The new skimmer has been running for 5 days now and I must say I am quite impressed with it. Here are the pros and cons I've found so far:

PROS: small footprint
inexpensive
quiet
skims well (I'm getting nearly twice as much skimmate as I was with
the Tunze)
easy to adjust water level


CONS: although easy to clean, the cup is difficult to remove: requires a good
pull; perhaps it will loosen up a little after more use

The new skimmer has been running for over 2 weeks now and it really does deliver as advertised. Easy to use and produces skimmate at twice the amount of my old Tunze. I'm not ready to throw out my MR-3 Beckett on the 225g but for my 90g the Bubble Magus is great.
