The Nac6 comes with the Atmann pumps. My Atmann pump came with 2 mesh impellers. It does not have a pinwheel impeller.

A Few Pics of My New BM 180CS
A Few Pics of My New BM 180CS
I have to say, I am extremely impressed with the quality of this skimmer. I have to admit that I was quite skeptical about these skimmers when they first hit the market, but after all the positive reviews in this thread, and finally having one in my hands, I am a skeptic no more. During my time in this hobby, I have owned 10 different skimmers (Euro-Reef, Life-Reef, MTC, MSX, to name a few) and this by far is one of the best built of all of them. Now let's just hope the performance matches the build. More feedback to follow.
As promised, here are the initial photos:

The bubble plate is removable for cleaning, and I needed to do was spin the bubble plate around.

Congrats JPat. Do you think the bb3000 will fit inside that thing? LOL :beer:
How do the base sizes compare the msx/octo200 bases? It would be awesome if it was much smaller b/c I have to drain my sump and remove it from my stand, just to get the skimmer in or out.

Thanks! The BB3000 definitely won't fit inside, but it would be easy enough to modify the skimmer to have it run externally. I'm going to run this stock for a while and see how it does before I start any modifications though.
The footprint on the Bubble Magus is SO much smaller than the MSX. Just take a look at the video I just posted of this BM skimmer, and compare it to the Video I took the other day of the MSX. I can't believe how much room I now have in my sump. The MSX filled my skimmer compartment completely, and it was a pain to take it out for cleaning.

It should have a hose and a plug with it. I don't think they use the valves anymore but it should have had a hose and plug for sure.

I am looking for a BM skimmer for my 90g and 120g. My bioload is medium on both tanks. Which do you guys suggest? Nac7 to small?
