Hey gang. After adding a Deltec MCE 600 to my 45 gallon AIO I see ATB has made some nice looking changes to their newest prototype.
Check it out here:

I'm sure the price will be astronomical coming from Austria and with our dollar slowly dropping, but it certainly looks to be more versatile. And, if they ever release it, with a real collection cup and conical body I'm sure it will lay waste to the Deltec MCE 600. Of course that would make it even more ridiculously oversized for my tank and it would probably skim about 5% of the time compared to the 20% I'm getting now.
By the way, if you haven't checked out www.glassbox-design.com before click around and check out Eric's blog. He regularly has product reviews and insider information long before you see it posted anywhere on RC or elsewhere. It's a reefgeek's delight :D
