if you have a 125 gal tank the Deltec 600 will work or spend the money on the mini 180 or 200 Bubble king, the ATI skimmer is a fantastic skimmer,but the pumps the ATI pumps on my were hard to get going after a power failure. so that is the only crappy thing about the skimmer is the pump, However the pump is what makes the skimmer any ways
I Have tried pretty much every type of skimmer. so its what you want to for your tank power , quality, plug and play. I wanted this time for this to be my last skimemr , plug and play and quiet BK all the way

I just got a Bubble Magus BMQQ nano skimmer last week. I've been cleaning it and put it on one of my tanks today. Not on my nano tank, because it required deeper water than my nano sump could provide. I'm impressed by the build quality...it's solid, especially since it's only $69 US including a MJ1200. www.nuocean.com
Chris from there was very helpful. You would be looking at a larger unit but if they are built like this little one, then I suspect they will be okay. I'm going to have to wait about a week for this little guy to break in I suspect and then I'll let you know what I think.

I have the bubble magus bm100. Its working great, and its super quiet. The only thing I had to do was sand down the seam inside the pump . That being said we will see how the pump lasts long term, but as of now I have no complaints. Purchased the 110v version from fish-street (Hong Kong) and it only took a week to get here.

Bubble Magus has now released a new Ver 2.0 of the BM100 which has a stronger magent in the pump and some other minor changes to get over the few issues which people were bringing up.
My new BMQQ has been running as a second skimmer in my main display for 4 days now and I have about 150 ml of NOG in the cup so far. It had about a 2 1/2 day break in and now seems to be getting settled. As a second skimmer, I pretty impressed with that much NOG.

I have a BM 100 I am going to sell, it has never been used, never seen water, brand spanking new, I've upgraded to a bigger cone skimmer, don't even have water in my tank yet
 Anyhow, within the next week or so I'll put it on the board for sale, Chris at Nuocean just sent me the version 2 needlewheel & impellar., so it comes with 2 needlewheels & 2 impellars. If anyone is interested pm me & I'l try to work out a price. http://www.nuocean.com/skimmers/bubb...115v-60hz.html Last edited by wayner; 02-08-2009 at 03:29 AM.

If you happen to decide on the Vertex, I believe there have been some revisions and the new models should be available soon. You may want to make sure you are getting the latest version
I believe the new versions have a redesigned bubble plate and the pumps have been reorientated /repositioned eliminateing the 90 between the pump and skimmer Sorry, didn't notice the 2nd page

I love how you cant post about a cheaper skimmer on this board without someone saying you should just get a BK...lol
I think if you have the money, bk no question. Otherwise, I'm sure people like to know what else is out there at different price points. I haven't found one bad review of these bubble magus' yet.
