    So my skimmer came in the mail today and I opened it up and saw it had a white bubble plate. All of the pictures I find online show it running with a nice clear acrylic bubble plate. Did I get sent an old version or incorrect version of the skimmer. I ordered a swc 160 xtreme cone skimmer.

    sorry for lousy droid pics...

    I purchased mine a couple of months ago. It has a white one.

    Edit: That cone will be so freakin packed with bubbles you won't even be able to see the plate! ;)

    I've seen both the white and clear plates, and they are identical.
