I just got a RS-80P and mesh modded it the minute I took it out of the box. The bubbles are about the width of a sewing needle. I definitely love this skimmer so far, its really quiet and moves a LOT of air.

I'll post pics when I start getting skimmate.

I have a couple questions:

1. Whats your definition of "foam head"?

2. Where do I want the foam head at?

3. Do I need to adjust the air line at all? Its wide open right now. Does closing it make the skimmer skim more wet?
What did you use for the mod? Can you describe what you did?

I just bought a RS-100 and I am just starting to learn about the mesh mods that can be done. Right now, I am impressed with the skimmer, but any more I can do with it would be great.
I have my water line just at the bottom of the collection cup. The foam head is about 2" from the top of the chamber.
Here's a pic of the RS-100, right after cleaning so the foam head hasnt built back up yet.
