Suddenly my Vertex INS 250 seems smaller.

Cheers,

Very nice toy! Can't wait to hear how it works for you. Curious about how quiet it will be. The Red Dragons are supposed to be silent.

Very impressive specs on this one , look at the air intake () more then Bubble King @ only 38Watts !+ silencer. if design proves to be effective this going to be a very nice skimmer.
i guess two red dragon pumps is what makes it a good one.

Alpha Kone 300 Specifications
Footprint: Forthcoming
Height: 25.75"
Base Diameter: 12.75" - Neck Diameter: 6.25"
Air Flow/Energy Consumption: 2500 lph @ 38W
Aquarium Size: Rated up to 600 gallons

Bubble king rated 2500 (!!!???) gallons?

Bubble King has less air mixing with higher power consumtion. I wonder why, are they using same pumps?
