Default ok ok ok ok ok

I think this debate should just rest now because there is no right nor wrong and there is really nothing out there to test which skimmer is good, medium or bad.
I am temporarily running a BK180 mini in my sump right now and I will say that the bubbles are consistent without any burps of bubbles. It is built like a tank and I am very impressed with it.
With this debate in the air, I will keep the BK180 in there just for the sake of comparing it to the Orca 250 when I set it up. I'll post pics as soon as I get it and I will take pics of both units.... looking forward to this.
Thank you all.

Hey Chin,

I've got one of those watt meters if you want to use it to test out the power draw that the pumps use.

Let me know and I can drop it off with Anthony.

Cheers,
Vic

No problem. Just let me know when you want it and I'll pass it off to Anthony or we can meet at OA or J&L whenever. Or if your ever around South Van (Main & Marine area)....... your more then welcome to drop by.

I don't have a tank set up at the moment but my library is pretty big.

Cheers,
Vic
