OK its time to do a small review on this mini 200 Bubble king that I have.

Good
- Very Very quiet
- compact for that small sump wich is great
- skims crazy for a smll unit
- is capable of skimming a heavy stocked 170 with ease
- its not that small actually when I received the skimmer I was amazed on the size of the unit.
- with the pump in the bottom It doesn't take away from the power of skimming IME.
- first start up it was skimming like crazy.
- huge air hose on the pump.
- volute for Ozone which is pretty cool.
- the unit is built really good, should be for $1300 i didnt find a flaw in it any where.

Bad
- it costs 1300
-the collection cup could be placed on there better I think.
- very touchy the tube is for rising the water level.
- I think the chamber could be abit bigger to compensate the pumps being in the chamber.
-Now Im NITT PICKING....

My over all view is if you can push out the money to get this skimmer then go for it. It is plug and plug no word of a lie. I have owned many skimmers and WOW I love this model if i have the time and the money i would have gotton the SM 200. but Im never going to get a bigger tank. If the SPS's in the tank are that huge then I will run OZONE. ANd then start to Frag.

MY RATING ON this Skimmer would a 9/10 nothing is made prefect but there are some thing that are really close. that is why they made the BUBBLE KING.
