The only sound I have ever heard from my bubbleking is a slight hiss from the air and even then if I don't look at the skimmer I don't know if it is on or not

Marie what size do you have again Im looking at the 200 and some people are saying it not really worth the price or heck it is rated for 135-265 gal

i would love to get the 200 SM but its alittle out of my reach

I have the SM 200 so I can't really comment on the minis. When I bought the SM 200 I was looking for a skimmer that didn't require me to mess with it at all and it is everything I hoped it would be.
I was tired of cheap pieces of junk, I'm no good at diy and I happened to get a great deal on a RC group buy :mrgreen:

you have the mark up from the manufacture to make ther emoney,(they probably sell direct in Germany for that price)
then you have the guy who has the distrubution rights in north america, who ships them in and adds a markup, then you probably have a canadian distrubuter who adds his cut and boarder crossing fees and shipping, then the stores.

It is just like some stuff I bought in Dubai and India, cost me 8 bucks for a carved eliphant from the guy who carved it, I saw something not as good sitting on a shelf in the brick for over 900.00

SM 250 is 1250 EUR with is over $2000 Canadian. Link

The vertex skimmers are made in the exact same Chinese factory as Euro Reefs. The pumps are made by Resun, not exactly the best pump makers. I assure you I know a little something about protein skimmers :wink:

Hey Mike, my SM 250 has no problem starting up, the only sound it makes is a quick hiss from the air line. Once running absolutely silent, they have special pointed rubber feet on everything that basically eliminate any vibration as well. Plus I like the anti-lime mod on the pump and the fact you can take the base off to clean the diffuser plate.

I good link to pics of the SMs

Well My mine is made up its going to be the Mini 200 just because i really can't break out the extra 300 im pushing it on the C now. and if i didnt spend the extra on the sicce pumps for the other skimmer i could have gotten the SUPER MARINE 200 :cry: so for now, have to make 1 one phone call tomorrow to confirm the price and if its still a go. then i will be having it here by the week end. if all goes right

stay tuned for the NEW SKimmer.
thanks to all for helping me get the right choice out. after all its just money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:lol:

Congratulations on your new little bundle of joy! :mrgreen:

thanks ROb i hoping that its still there or its not having to be ordered in

Because everyone in Germany screams?
