![]() I am just starting to shop for a skimmer for my new 300g cube and would like some feedback on skimmers. I have done a fair amount of research and also have personal experience with the bubble king. I am leaning towards going with another BK but just wonder if anyone has any experience with any of these other skimmers.

![]() Don't know if no one has any experience with these skimmers or just doesn't have an opinion but FWIW I have decided to go with another Bubble King. These are amazing skimmers IMO. I had it boiled down between the BK and H&S but decided on the BK because I already know how they perform. Going with a 500 ext. this time around and will probably run it on my 230g until I get my new tank set up.

![]() LOL that's why the new tank won't be set up for a while. I want to have an addition built complete with a fish/tank room. There is a real shortage of trades and trying to get a contractor to do this may take quite a while. If I could ever figure out how to post pictures I would but I am just too dense or something cause I just can't get it.

![]() Since you mention fish room, have you considered running a common sump. Could you get by with the current skimmers ganged, or trade them in for a large single unit?

![]() I have thought about running a common sump but probably won't - at least not for all my tanks. The reason is because right now I am running one system with zeovit, and so far it is going well, but I want to give this at least a year to see if I really want to keep on using this and if I do want to, am I prepared to use it on all my systems. The answer is probably not because I want to have different tanks and each will have different needs. I truly believe that a softie system actually does better with slightly higher nutrient level whereas a SPS system requires pristine, low nutrient water.
I don't think I will have to worry about trading up in skimmers - I will probably run the 190 and new 300 with a common sump and the skimmer I have on order will skim that and probably more. ![]() |
