My definition? Bubble King would be the cadillac industry leader. EuroReef would be the "mainstream" industry leader. Although I would like to know how the Vertex compares to EuroReef as I think that may be a more realistic comparison.

I recently purchased the 180 (like 3 weeks ago) and haven't put it to the test as yet. I was drawn to this skimmer from what I've read in user's reviews AND the very reasonable price, BUT since I have purchased it they raised the price by another $75. That's a huge price increase (percentage-wise)! <thumbsdown>

I'm actually really impressed with the nasty thick skimmate my 180 is pulling out of the 120 that only has fresh SW and 10lbs of LR in it!!

Well I can definitely say (and not only because we sell them
 ) That I am super impressed by the skimmers performance AND the pricing even with the increase. I am sorry to hear of Sir Fragalots experience but we have had ours for three months now with no problems and I still love them. I just recently used the rest of our stock on in store tanks and brought in more to complete the rest of our SW systems. These I would say would "compare" to Euro Reef however I feel they outdo even Euro reef mainstream and knock on H&S's door (performance not pricing lol) to some respect. Just my 2 cents  Dan Last edited by Aquatic Addictions; 11-26-2008 at 06:48 AM. Reason: Apparently can't spell today

I've been breaking in a Vertex 80 for the past week and had also subsequently picked up a used EuroReef RS80.
I'll post an update in a few weeks and let you know which works better in my tank Quote:

I got my 100 last week, impressed witht he build quality, love the cup mount, why didn't anyone ever thing of this befor.. only need a 1/4" of clearance to remove the cup. has feature of a much higher end pump but a realistic price. I haven't firred it up yet, guess I should do the viniger break in but I am not in a hurry, I have two different skimmers, both home made one beckett and one venturie that I made custom with features to increace contact time, so that is what my assesment of this will be when I decide to get off my but and get my system running.
