Anyone bought the new RDX bk mini 160 recently? I received mine today and it's really confusing. On the website it shows there is an acrylic bubble director but the one I received has none. Also the website claims the pump max power is 40w but the sticker on the back of the pump says 30w. Any rdx bk mini user?

Hello,
I have this model as well.
Indeed, the max consumption is 30 watt/h.
See the official site below.
It is hard to see in the picture with plastic regarding the bubble cup. Compare with the pictures in the official site.

Let me know if it helps!

 
Now I now why they mentioned 40watt… se the description of the link that I copied… and then the website the following :)

“Adjustable in 8-steps from ~ 7W up to 30W”
”wattage power: Pmax = 30 Watt/h”

Thanks so much for the reply. Yeah. They just updated that page last night. Haha it's indeed 30watt. How do you like this skimmer? Any breaking in time? I replaced my oversized maxpsect ad600 with this bk mini 160. The maxspect have way more and finer bubble than the bk160. Sadly, So far I'm not impressed with the bk.
 
Hello,
I like it a lot... actually I use it for many years and hard to change it.
Normal procedure: keep it running the first two or three days at max and then you start to regulate it.

In my opinion, it is not even comparable to maxspect skimmer. You will see that after some time…

Regarding the bubbles, just put for instance a co2 scrubber on the BBK and check your ph. It is quite impressive…

Enjoy!

Awesome. I'll follow your advice and let it run for few days. Thanks again
