Bubble King Supermarin 160, new design?

[125mph]

Just ordered a Supermarin 160 for my 180gallon light/medium stock tank.

Is the 160 newly redesign? I see it is listed as being redesigned in 2020.. the 160 looks very different then the other models (200, 250, etc).

Those tubes in the 160 look like a freaking nightmare to clean...

My 160 does not have the tubes so maybe thats the new thing

Any update on the skimmer ?

I ordered it and works very well on my 180g heavy stock tank.

What is the water lvl you have it sitting at? And also can you post a picture of the skimate? Just want to see what color the skimmer produces

How does the skimmate look? Just emptied it yesterday

The skimate looks dark to me, hope I can get mine to skim the same

I just got a mini bubble king 160. You might be thinking of my version vs yours, the supermarin bubble king 160. Not sure if mine is old but it is still available on royal exclusiv' website.

Any update on the skimmer performance?

Works very well still.. Very easy to tune. I can get wet skimmate or thicker... I like to go inbetween.
