Change of heart from what? I am confident that most of the SWC skimmers will outperform BM, I also believe the build quality is better. With all the links posted, read for yourself the many comparative reviews that have been done. The SWC skimmers pull more air and generally at equal to or less wattage.

Your first post in this thread said you were going to compare the SWC to the BM head to head and to stay tuned for results. What does that mean if not to compare actual performance results? So far none of the links have said that either one actually skims better than the other and that is the type of info I would like to know. A few weeks ago you yourself was saying how great the BM skimmers worked so I just want to know if anyone has actually compared the two based on performance in the same tank before I buy my skimmer. Right now I'm not sure which way to go as I can get the BM for cheaper but if the SWC skims better then maybe it's worth the extra money. I haven't heard of any BM quality problems and they both use the same pump so I am trying to find out which one works better based on head to head results not from someone who has only used one of the products but likes it so that must mean its better. You got me really interested in this product but I want to be sold on it.

When you say that the build quality is going to make a better skimmer. You should know that the pump is what makes the skimmer having a CNC machine isn't going to make a skimmer work better then another skimmer. I have owned many skimmers and believe you me, I used to own a Deltec AP 851 with the Ehiem skimmer that was a amazing skimmer not because of the DELTEC name the Reason is for the EHIEM pump. I have owned many high end skimmers like the BK mini's
Deuxe BK's and didnt care for them. alot of Hype however the BM 220 Cone is a amazing skimmer that houses the EHiem pump that skimmer will hands down compete or out drive the Deltec 851. or even keep up the REASON IS THE PUMP.
