Ok It's BUBBLE KING REVIEW

[trilinearmipmap]

I have a Mini BK 180 on my 120 gallon mixed reef. I got the BK something like 1-1/2 months ago give or take.

Before that I had run a mesh-modded EuroReef CS-6-2+.

Overall I am happy with my BK. It skims about as much as the mesh-modded Euroreef but the difference is consistency. The BK skims the same, day in, day out. When I empty and clean the collection cup, by the next day I have one day's worth of skimmate, the same amount of skimmate as before emptying the cup.

My mesh-modded (and gate-modded) EuroReef was finnicky, it wouldn't draw air unless you blew into the air tube, and the skimmate production was inconsistent.

My nitrates went down from the 0.5 to 1.0 range (Salifert test) to 0.2 ppm since I have been using this skimmer. Phosphates are steady at barely detectable on the Merck phosphate test.

Overall I recommend this skimmer if you have lots of money to blow, if not I would seriously look into the Bubble Magus. And I would get the 200 over the 180 if it will fit in your sump.
