Here... you all will dig this...lol:
Okay, so I started dosing some KENT additives (essential elements and Coral Vite) because they contain potassium, iron, strontium, molybdenum... all the things that some EU companies sell for 4x more. Anyways... my skimmate changed... So I was cleaning the 'baby pooh' and it was more like black oil. I suppose you can 'overskim'...lol. Whatever was in the Kent stuff ended up in my cup later on. Here is my finger about 1/4-3/8" away from the side of the wall (Yeah, I was brave and took one for the team that day...lol): Here I move my finger back about another 1/4-3/8": When I emptied it, it looked like crude in the bottom of my cup:

The new US models look great! My only suggestion for Anton is to find a classier sticker for the collection cup

I ordered a red skimmer. Is that medium skimmer for me, Victor? What pump is on that skimmer?

Perry you actually order the large skimmer
air star 1500 |

I don't think the large is going to fit in my sump. Is the "normal" means large? What is the foot print for the large? I can only fit a 20x23 in my sump.

I see. I checked your website you actually already changed the model name for the conical skimmers.

Frustum
For anyone interested in the layout mechanics of this type of skimmer, which is technically called the frustum of a cone, here is a simple free layout program that will create a cut pattern for the acrylic body. You can dial in any dimensions you like.

Or, perhaps, to eliminate confusion, since the base diameters of all these cones seem to be rather unique (not your usual 200 and 250 mm diameters), perhaps having them called by their base diameter isnt so bad... a 'cone 260' would mean just one body (new medium), 'cone 200' (new nano), or 'cone 330' would be the new large. This way, nobody could confuse them... not even with old models, because their base diameters would be 'cone 240 (mine)' , 'cone 160' (original nano) and maybe 'cone 600' for an xxl industrial model.

hahnmeister - Good idea because I was about to post last night the same thing about being confused on what each one is being called now and in the past. Can we get current information on the ATB Conical Shape Skimmers and post this over on Sponsor Forums > ATBskimmers.com.
. name or model number . specifications - length, width, height and neck . color – white, black, grey or red . pump – Eheim or Air-Star . aquarium rating |

reef/ aholic
All the info you requested can be found on atbskimmers.com except the neck size and color info. All skimmers can be made in red and grey, grey, or red and white but the small will have a grey tee though. Currently we are only stocking red and grey. Thaanks |

Can I get UV purple body with mirrored lid and clear piping?
Actually... we were talking about that Victor... I think it might be a good idea to make the outlet pipe clear, perhaps as an option. It would sure make figuring out the actual waterline alot easier considering the bubble density makes it very hard to draw that line between the water and the air.

No, these skimmers are too pretty to actually run. We just put them on our dining room tables as center-pieces. The red color goes great with a rose bouquet.

What about any other Air-Star pumps offered by ATB. The only information I can find on them is for Milking Systems.
What about which skimmer is rated for what aquarium? hahnmeister or aton - could we also incorporate something like this? |

I second Hahnmeister's suggestion to incorporate the cone dimenions into the model names.
--owner of original 160 nano, now "small" skimmer (is that right?) |
