The Vertex Aquaristik cone skimmers are made by Royal Exclusiv actually. The two teamed up to make a cone skimmer of bubbleking quality (cnc machined parts) but at a much lower price point. Apparently it will be sold as Vertex but made by Royal Exclusiv.
The Alpha 170 is starting at $649 and the Alpha 250 is starting at $999 but that is just the presale price and then the 250 goes up to $1200 and the 170 to around $800. Not sure what the bigger one costs but I think it was like $1200 for presale and then $1400 regular.
This was info from a while back though...not sure how it ended up going for naming the skimmers.
