Thanks for the positive comment!

So today a new toy(?) arrived - SWC mini cone 160. It actually looks pretty good, just like all others other owners said. Here's the picture of mine



Right after setting it up. Skimming already!



I like being able to see the bubbles. There are some micro bubbles but my baffles are doing a good job.

It was not easy to get this thing in my sump. I got rid of mini wall that was keeping the drain hose outlet to minimize turbulence, because this new skimmer is much larger than Tunze 9010 it replaces. Even without the collection cup, it was a big challenge to get this thing inside the sump.

The water level is easily adjusted with outlet valve, and air intake amount can be fully adjusted. Tunze 9010 has ability to adjust air only.

I feel that the potential of skimming capacity is much greater than the Tunze 9010. The amount of bubbles this thing creates is many times greater. Also added filter sock, and I may keep it permanently. It also reduces bubbles and water turbulence, making the skimmer perform better.

Here's youtube video of it in action

Finally, here's the video of my clown spawning. These guys are laying eggs almost every 2 weeks. Quite something to watch them spawn.. very cute..
