So it IS a little bit bigger. I was told the only difference was in the pump. But cups a little bigger, looks like the cone is larger at the base too.
 Now I'd love a side by side pic of the BM180cs and the SWC Mini S both are about same priced skimmers. the in sump pics, are the bubbles in the sump from the skimmer?

The bubbles in the sump pics are from my overflow. No bubbles seem to be escaping the skimmer at al
 l. The air intake on the 180 is much larger than the nac7 and so is the pump intake. If someone around me has the new swc I would do a side by side for you. If want anymore info feel free to askCheers Ray

I should also add the aquabee pump is very strong! pretty much anything in the sump gets pulled towards the skimmer compared to the atman pump on the nac7 which got maybe 70% of the floaties lol

Just wondering
Maybe just me but I see the bubble diffuser has a portion not drilled in the when its new picture that is right above the pump mounting hole and when you put it together you have the diffuser holes right above the pump outlet wont that cause some more turbulance inside the body that maybe shouldnt be there. Maybe just me?

So its been just over a week of running this skimmer. Im still trying to find the skimmer sweet spot tho. It is still skimming a bit on the wet side. Im gonna try running it in 8 1/2" of water this weekend and see how that works. I am still very impressed with the power of this pump! nothing gets by it
 plus it is silent!! Compared to the nac7 this skimmer has improved my water clarity ten fold
