A Corvette and a Cavalier will both get you from point A to point B reliably but, which one would you rather drive given the option to choose?

The electric one

Good answer,

That was a trick question, GM's aren't reliable.

And that's coming from a GM guy.. :redface:

I really am curious though,whats wrong with the euroreef?

I have the EuroReef RS180, and must say it is the BEST skimmer I have ever used. Was using a V2 1200 skimmer from the UK, but it is no comparison to the EuroReef.

hey don't get me wrong I like the Euro reef's, however they make such a small collection cup. so your forced to clean it all the time which is great for the euro reef which needs a clean neck to skim.

what Skimmer do you have yes they are huge but they are not that tall i used to own a 250 and the cup want that big at all.

Does yours have the self cleaning head? That would be a must for any skimmer i bought new nowadays.

This BK looks interesting ---> http://glassbox-design.com/2008/roya...otein-skimmer/

Good manswer.

Doug	12-16-2008 12:58 PM

Well I clean that big Euroreef at the store every few days and although the cups large, its not very deep as Mike said. The cup on the skimmer he just sold was huge and could easily hold several times what the Euroreef cup could. Now I cant speak for the BK until I go over and see it.

Anyways, look at mine in my nano thread. Now thats a collection cup. :lol:

12-16-2008 01:38 PM

oh yes the ATI BM skimmer collection cup was huge. here are the comparsions.

I never get the often described full collection cup every two days (or week, or whatever, for that matter), so for me, it doesn't matter if one cup is bigger than the other. What I do know, however, is my recently added BK SM250 Internal skims at least twice as much as the replaced EuroReef RS250 did. That's enough for me.

BK all the way! :smile:

Cheers,

ok Since great posts from every one, like stated before I bought my bubble king and so far i'm very happy with it. I said when I started theis long road to this hobby. That I would get the best gear for my tank when I can. SO far I have all top rated gear IMO. lights, skimmer, Wave box's and tunze's im happy

Mods I think we have reached the point here can you close this thread before it turns crazy.....

how do you change your plump out? or clean it, do the guts of the skimmer come apart?

I have the RS180, they are tall also. Mine is about 8 inches in height.

I see in your photo, that yours is quite short, what model is that, Mine is much bigger.

I'm confused by this. Was it something I said? Do I have a reputation that precludes anything I say as nasty?
