UPS stopped by yesterday with something I have been wanting for a few years now! Opportunity arose so I jumped on it. I have been happy with my Skimz SK181 cone skimmer, it has a great design and basically dead silent. But I like to try new things and wanted the mac daddy (IMO).


ATB 840 v2

I'd like to hear your thoughts on comparing it to the sk181. Noise? Skimming performance? What size system? I've got the sk181 now.
