Default Bubble King 160 Or Vertex Alpha Kone 200
Heres my debate. Bubble King 160 or New Vertex Alpha Kone 200? There both about the same money, but the bubble king is rated slightly less tank volume. I like that they both run the Dragon pumps. Any thoughts? I might pull the trigger today on one of these units and im needing some backup from fellow reefers. Any feedback would be great!

Get the cone. Both are built by the same company - Royal Exclusiv, but the cone has arguably the better design.

I have the Alpha Cone 250 and thus far happy with the purchase. I don't think you can go wrong with the Quality of a BK and the Red Dragon. It's also pretty impressive how smoothly those bubbles move up the cone. No regrets with my experience

you might want to pm madreefer as he has the cone and just sold his BK mini. So he has experience with both.
