I have used the 5000 baby for 2 years now. It certainly is a great skimmer, easy to fit, easy to tune.
I drilled out the air inlet pipe to a larger diameter with an increase in air pipe diameter. This was suggested to me from someone who uses one in the USA.
It seems to increase the air intake. This can easily be seen by un screwing and taking out the air intake valve(with the skimmer running)

Just the question of the price in Singapore -$1800 wow and i thought the UK was expensive.
