Here are some pictures of the current SWC300A
As far as I can tell, besides the pump of course, the biggest differences are:
-- a longer neck,
-- transparent transition from body to neck,
-- removal of the white solid plastic plate underneath the perforated plate inside the body and,
-- a longer inner cylinder that goes all the way from the bottom to the perforated plate.

I thought the production models were going to have the reaction chamber all the way to the base to alleviate the bubble issue where air gets trapped under the chamber and allows large bubbles to escape and surface messing up the foam head. If they don't have that, there is no reason for me to upgrade.
They have the modified chamber in the two that Scott posted...

The new 300A will have the chamber that goes all the way to the bottom. Those are pics of the current 300A. Although, I don't see a difference in the pump hookups from that skimmer and the regular 300

Thanks, I caught that at the last minute. Or actually after the last minute... I'm thinking about adding another 100 gallons to my system to have a top-looking down coral tank in the wetroom and am thinking of upgrading to a 300a
That would be cool. I'm starting to think I should have held off on buying my 300. For another 200 bucks and a little patience, I could have the new 300A.

Has it shipped out? How long did they say it would take for delivery? I wonder how they got the skimmer before marine solutions?

It not on their website... I'm sure I'll stick with marine solutions anyway. They really do go above and beyond. Hard to make a profit in this industry, especially when you deal with whiny reefers like me
Here ya go
Guess I can't post a link.. ygpm

curious---how much is the new pump in comparison to the total cost of the new 250msx. Trying to figure out if it woud be a good idea to retool my existing 250msx or invest in the new one.

would there be much difference in skimmer performance from a new one compared to the old one refitted with the new pump?
