No need to appologize, these are great questions and comments.

Albert, can you pm me a price for a BK180? Thanks.

Harvey if you are thinking of a skimmer. I have a ATI BM250 and i love it 10" chamber short and fat neck along with a huge collection cup. I will never buy another skimmer this thing rocks like no tomorrow. its alot cheaper then a BK and with a dual custom mesh mod on the sicci pumps and super quite I some times have to look in to see if the skimmer is working. Is rated for 500 gallons. and it pulled amazing crap out of the tank.

Well the BK and the BM250 are pretty close in price. A BM250 locally is $1000 and the BK mini 180 is $1000.

Only problem with the BM250 is you'll have almost zero customer support after acquiring it. I use to sell them. I've now dropped ATI altogether. Something about a manufacturer that doesn't answer their emails when $600+ equipment doesn't work properly...

Is that the shipped price or the in-store price?
