Why the BK over a Vertex Omega?

I don't think the Omega has anything on the ATB, so the Omega never really interested me. I considered the Vertex Alpha, and even pursued that option for awhile, but I couldn't pass up the good deal on the BK that was purchased when the Canadian Dollar was still strong.

Besides, I wanted to start a journal on RC and no one will read it if you don't have a BK. I'm joking (kind of...lol).

I get zero microbubbles out of my BK. You should see similar results I hope.

Oh Brad, you're such a snob. I'm glad my build is up to snuff for you. What else should I buy? I should probably replace my old school grey GHL doser for a snazzy new white GHL doser because it would look better.

Fancy tank - check!
BK skimmer - check!
ATI lights - check!
GHL shizz - check!
Lots of GHL shizz - nope
Tidy white sump area - workin on it.
RD return pump - uh, no. Aw, I'm off the cool list now.

Or, you could get a real doser and do away with GHL stuff entirely!!

Yeah, I guess Vertex Libras are gaining popularity with the "in crowd". Plus, they are white.

You need an Abyzz to be on the cool list

But in all honesty, I doesn't matter if you spend $30K on your equipment. It's what's in the tank that will win votes That's when your tank will shine!

Ya, I kinda forgot about the Abyzz. My cheap Eheim will have to do.

I agree 100%. There is a small part of me that loves the under-equipped tank that blows your socks off. These last few posts have been 99% sarcasm (just in case you or someone else didn't realize that haha). When you have all the fancy equipment and your corals suck, you really have no excuse.
