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.

Unless you were cleaning the euroreef daily then you will still be cleaning the skimmer often. Not to make the bubbleking skim better but because your wife is complaining about the horrible stench comming from the fish room and the cup is full anyway

The collection cup on my EuroReef is huge, I don't know which model you were looking at, but can say it is huge, and much bigger than any Bubble King Collection cup that I have seen.

Plus if I had the money I would buy a BK and a few others just to compare them for myself....I DO however like the fact the workmanship on the BK would mean never having to EVER worry about it.
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/
