Sang, compare the 2 pics. Top pic is mine.
See how the interior cone on my skimmer has a riser above the cone?
Here's an earlier SM250:
Hmm, this looks familiar. Way to go! Nice skimmer!
However, I'm going to inquire about the riser tube. It seems funny to me that they would change the design months after release. I'm sure it was for microbubble reduction as I can always see some getting out.

I wonder if they added the extension tube becouse the RD pulls more air on US voltage and they were getting micro bubbles in the out flowing water??? I could be way off though...I think Klause has a power converter to to run US voltage....hmmm
T-Bone- I see what you mean about not having much clearance. Hate to jump on a guy when he is down but I have to agree....that skimmer has been dry for far too long
. If you would like you can shoot it up to me and I will break it in for you??

Bart - Sweet! Sounds like your shop caters to the "high-end" clients? U gonna get your own show on MTV, too? 
He's got a sweet Aston Martin now, and also drives a Prius
Chad - I spoke to Chris (from Proline) late Friday afternoon. He needs to confirm with Klaus the reason for the extension, but his feeling is the same - to reduce microbubbles back into the sump.
Do you feel the riser reduces performance, secondary to reduced contact time?

Ha! I was right about the microbubbles! Should have gotten an ATB. No microbubbles at all.

Not sure about Bart, but Barron does!
Call me crazy, but I will *try* to run all Tunzes when they come in, and see how my sandbed likes them.

I actually don't mind microbubbles, cuz my sump's baffled, and there's a long trek before water hits my return pump.
