12 hours later
OK here are the pics 12 hours later.
  I personally don't see much of a difference. Mind you the bubbles were already pretty small to start of with even prior to the modification. I would like for somebody who's using a mak4 on a beckett skimmer to try the same mod.

Chin, your bubbles were a lot smaller to start with than most Beckets I've seen. I can't see much of a difference either.
Maybe there is a threshold to how small bubbles can get, and your skimmer had already achieved it. I'd still be interested to see other peoples results with this mod.

Definite pro to this modification
Its been just over a week since I've done this mod and the bubble sizes have not changed.
BUT I want to mention that I have not had to clean my skimmer since ....... OK not completely true cuz i had to squirt water in the collection cup so i could see the foam on top. But I haven't had to remove the top riser to clean it out because once I had set the air valve to achieve the foam level to spurt over the top, i have not had the air valve clog up on me since. Without any change to the bubble sizes that I can visually observe, I will still recommend this modification to beckett owners because it didn't decrease the performance any and for me, i had not have to clean the skimmer for a week. I'll post the next time i do have to clean the skimmer riser.
