May be a bit before Jeremy replies unless he is checking the board from MACNA.

Guys,

As soon as I return from MACNA I'll get everything together and shipped out to anyone that we have sold 170's to.

Thanks,
Jeremy

I got 24-1/2" of clearance inside my stand, how much space do I need to remove the collection cup of a alpha 170?

1/2 an inch is enough clearance fro me to unscrew the the collection cup on my alpha 300. You'll als want to be sure that you have enough space between the top rim of your sump and the edge of your cabinet door opening to get the cup through that space.

Same for me, I bought mine at LFS in northern California. Having some surging/microbubble.

Also, looking through this thread the 170 shown came with the RD1000. Mine came with the RD1500. Is this correct?

I would suspect that you would need to go through Tom at SoCal. He would probably go though ProLine.

Gonna go probably with the vertex alpha 200 since its only $100 more and it uses the same size pump as the alpha 170

got one question, what is the actual footprint of the skimmer?
Premiumaquatics say 8.75"x13.75" other online vendor says 9.75"x13.75" and another one says 10.75"x13.75"

now i got 10.5"x15" would the Alpha 200 fit?

The Alpha 170 is going to receive a new volute, tunable venturi, and impeller. As soon as the parts come in I will get those shipped right out to everyone who has ordered through us. If you purchased your Alpha 170 skimmer elsewhere you will need to go back to the place of purchase for this revision.

Thanks,
Jeremy
