            I believe the 3.5 is cone shape vs. the 3+ which is a cylinder shape.

            Almost the same. I never had the 3.5 so I can't speak to that but the 3+ is a decent skimmer. The 3+ sucks if you don't have it dialed in to the exactly water level in sump.

            I had to use egg crates to get it at the right level. Once it got there it did a decent job.

              I have the 3.5 and yes, the main difference is that the 3.5 is a cone shape. Supposedly the cones are more efficient. I think it's just a case of haves and have nots. Either is a good skimmer for a 20L - whichever you get the best deal on.

                  I cant speak to them because I havent used anything other than PM. I like it because it does its job and seems to be pretty forgiving on water height and operation.
