Calling this skimmer a "Vertex Alpha Cone" is the equivalent of saying "Kia 911 Turbo"

Yeah the only reason its a vertex is because of the name scribed into the top of the skimmer. There's no question that the quality is the same as a BK. It has the Red Dragon pump and even says Royal Exclusiv on the top. You can't really have any kind of appreciation for the quality of this skimmer until you actually see one in person. I had talked myself out of buying one until I seen it. lol. Seem's to be broken in and working awesome already. It hasn't even been running 12 hours yet.

Not trying to hijack but thought I'd post some pics of the Alpha250. Skimmer is huge and was a little worried it would not fit in my sump so I just took out some of my rocks and put them in the refugium. Definetly a BubbleKing just without the name.
 The collection cup holds 4 liters of crap, my BKmini 180 holds a liter and a half.  This is it in my sump. After 12hour of use. I think it's already broke in. Picked it up from my buddy Dan at AquaticAddictions. Thanks Dan!

Thanks for adding pictures. I can't get pictures on here for some reason (computer illiterate lol). Now that my skimmer has been up and running for a while I thought I'd run some ozone through the system (seeings the skimmer is designed to handle ozone). Seems to be working really well. As usual the ozone has really bumped up the skimmate production. I found the bubble level came up a fair bit with the ozone so I had to 'dial back' the output.
