 I would like to try a Bubble king just to see if it works, but I am happy with my three euro-reefs....they do what i need them to I just think the price is a lot, considering custom skimmers are close, sometime even cheaper...

yes I agree that the Bubble kings get huge Trash talk ,but why because of the $$$$$$$$$, then why are so many people in Germany screaming about them.

you have the mark up from the manufacture to make ther emoney,(they probably sell direct in Germany for that price) then you have the guy who has the distrubution rights in north america, who ships them in and adds a markup, then you probably have a canadian distrubuter who adds his cut and boarder crossing fees and shipping, then the stores. It is just like some stuff I bought in Dubai and India, cost me 8 bucks for a carved eliphant from the guy who carved it, I saw something not as good sitting on a shelf in the brick for over 900.00 Steve

IMO the Bubblekings are very nice but not essential, lots of different skimmers will do the job, a skimmer that costs twice as much does not skim twice as well, but somewhat better. I'm happy with my BK, there are other less expensive choices that do a good job. In the end it comes down to what you want to spend your money on, I will blow money on a few things that are important to me, one of them is stuff for my aquariums.

Dont know why no one wants a euroreef anymore,best bang for the buck I've found. Mine fills the collection cup everyother day with what can only be described as tar. The thing NEVER acts up and you can set it as wet or dry as you like. Because it was so affordable I was able to afford one double the capacity I needed and it was still half the price of a bk. I really am curious though,whats wrong with the euroreef?
