Heck, mine isnt even that much larger at this point... the nano's new dimensions make it equal to the EU 'Small' at least.

victor will the price be the same on this new model? my rimless will be delivered soon and i think this would be a great fit. if you need anyone to test it out i'm always available

on a more serious note, will it not be made in white?

ok i double checked my email the measurements are correct. We will keep the pricing the same for now.
rishma actually all the skimmers will be available in this color scheme.
We will change the names to small medium large and xtra-large. There will also be a xxl model for commercial apps

The medium large and x large will be available in red and white. I can not find a 32mm t for the new small or we would make it in white and red also. The name changes will occur in about two weeks when i get them in stock.

Well, I finally have some pics of my ATB Small running. I've had the skimmer and pump sitting in the sump running, but not really adjusted for the last couple of weeks. I've been in and out of town, so I didn't want to try and set it while I wasn't able to watch it regularly. At least getting it running for a couple weeks gave the pump a good chance to get broken in properly. I've got a pretty light bioload so I think my water level in the skimmer is a little higher than most. I should have some good skimmate pics over the next couple of days too.

Here are the first few shots with a nice little pillow of foam just starting to form and an initial air intake reading off the flowmeter:

I think you should get an internal for now and set up another tank for the external in a few months. Isn't that a great idea!!

only thing i've heard is they are trying for 300-400lpm, cone body, and pump is in the skimmer instead of out of the tank.

Wanted to say I'm joining the club as I just bought the nano that Ed was testing on his 180....

I've been lazy the last couple weeks with the holidays and everything. I've finally taken some skimmate pics.

I went to visit the family Christmas eve and got back late on the 26th and this is what greeted me. That's just two days worth of skimmate, and I turned the water level in the skimmer down a little more than normal before I left because I expected to be gone longer and I didn't want to come back to an overflowing skimmer. I'll have to take a picture with the skimmate backlit just to show you how thick and dark it is. I let the skimmer keep running like this today, so I'll take another couple pics tonight.

Overall, I'm very impressed with ATB so far. Victor's been great to work with and the skimmer is doing very well

Yeah, the skimmer has been impressing me more and more. My bioload is actually pretty light; 2 tangs (4" and 6"), a maroon clown (4"), and a mandarin fish (3"). I do try to feed twice a day, but never more than the fish can quickly consume. The tank is well developed, so their's a pretty substantial amount of micro fauna and flora as well. Unfortunately, I lost most of my sps in a move from another tank earlier this year (a cucumber hidden in a rock in the same bucket as a lot of coral did not move well) so my coral load is almost nonexistent, but the ones I still have are looking better by the day. They are coloring up very nicely as the skimmer pulls more gunk out of the water. It's definitely making me look forward to repopulating my corals!

I took more pics and I'll get them posted sometime this evening.

Is the nano cone overkill for a 90 with a 30 sump?

Hi scotmc
The max rating for the nano cone is 198 gallons. It would work really well on a tank with 120 gallons total. The shipment should arrive next week.

Hello ATBUSA,

Will there be regular documentation accompanying these skimmers in the future? I was a bit surprised not to receive anything with my nano.

Thanks...
