bk is a great skimmer line but.....id have to take out a mortgage to own one lol, the rlss is under $1000 and have a wide rating with the waveline pumps, plus controller.
with your bk now wouldnt it be nice to be able to turn it down or up a notch by the push of a button , not having to retune, push button feed?? :P heres a review on AA http://www.advancedaquarist.com/2012/5/review im in love with this skimmer, there i said it lol :P

A skimmer really comes down to two things, the pump and the build quality and attention to detail of the body. I've seen rlss skimmers, yes the build quality is good but not at the same level of BKs, does it use titanium screws? I think not
The wavelines have not proven themselves yet as decent contenders either. I run two waveline pumps, they are really good for the price especially being DC but they don't compare to the red dragons. The housing leak when used externally so the rlss external versions would not be a smart move IMO. The power supplies run way too hot, switched mine out to fan cooled units. Two issues I've had in a couple months, both pumps so not isolated issues. The only thing I'd give it credit for is that it's Canadian made, however more likely relabeled Chinese products for the most part with Canadian assembly. Regardless anything labeled as Canadian made is a plus in my books. That said it's not German so the extra point still goes to BK  Not saying rlss skimmers aren't great, but certainly not better than BKs, making statements like that with no bases is just silly.

Thanks for the response. I am running a Bubble Magus skimmer. According to Zeovit, you want to run a good protein skimmer, but not one that is too oversize that will pull out all of the food that you are dumping in. This is where the question came from.
