Sometimes you actually get what you pay for! Can't beat the German skimmers ... I'm a H&S Gal myself!

Okay, Okay. If you love all things BubbleKing, post your comments here ... if you don't have anything productive to say I guess we can all start our own Skimmer Club thread on our favorite skimmer brand and comment there! :crossedlips:

I did a lot of reading on this skimmers before i bought it, is a lot of money that i am investing in this skimmer, but from top to bottom in my opinion i think i did the right choice.

This is the hearth of this skimmer

I have heard great things about Bubble King skimmers, but I have never seen anyone explain why they are top dog. Looking at the pics I don't see anything that makes them stand out from other downdraft skimmers other than the diffuser at the bottom and the cone shaped reaction chamber. Is that all there is to it or is it something else?

I have had mine about a month.....Constant and never leaves its level (unless you but your greasy hands on it or around tank) Extremely easy to dial in.....For my footprint and load, it was the best choice.

Here is a BK180 mini generation II.

Bubble King in Action....BK180 mini

Skim is always black. Around 2-3 days.

Thats what I first thought. But you really need to see one to fully "get it". The build quality is perfect, over engineered! It works just as good as its built. They are quiet and not a energy hog. Easy to take appart and clean.... Am I missing something?

I don't own a Bubble King (Reeflo Orca 200), but what has always impressed me about BK skimmers is how well they skim while using so little electricity.

FYI- there is a new BK in-sump cone skimmer coming in real soon. You can buy pre-arrival for $999 from Premium Aquatics:

I'm in....BK Mini 200 Gen II

GHOST · Mar 17, 2009

I got the Bubble King 200 with the Red Dragon 1500. The skimmer is the hart of my tank, so why not invest in a good one. I'm not saying it's the best out there, or is it? but it works wonders. I'm in!!!!
