Luke33, that looks great so far! It seems the main issue is the rough mesh mod that was done to the impellers and poor instructions. Two questions:

Also, I'm curious to hear from an BM owners that are trying this skimmer, and what they think comparison wise.

I wonder if BM...

kdblove_99 - from early reports it looks like the pump on the MSX 160 is capable of pulling 900 LPH of air. The DAX EX-1 is recirculating, which is an advantage, but the DAS (Aquabee) pump only...

Looks good... hopefully it holds steady at 32 SCFH or more! Agreed, the current draw should definitely be under 30 watts.

jokerjp - 30 SCFH sounds about right... I believe that would be 850 LPH? My guess is your current draw is at 23-25 watts? Did you re-work the mesh mod at all (make it bigger)?

badazztealcobra - I have a 210 low-iron rimless on order and like you I was looking at other high-end skimmers (inlcuding BK). I think we're going to be very happy with this skimmer.
