[GSMguy]

[tbone28]

Mark - have you considered a deeper tank? 30" perhaps? playin!!!

gmatta - Yes, those triggers are beautiful, but my tank isn't big enough for those guys! And I don't need those guys knocking over all my frags

 

[ReefEnabler]

their names are the most similar things about them they are good skimmer with great pumps

this is Tbones build thread though, not really the place for the 500th ATI vs BK discussion.

 

[ReefEnabler]

lol, something tells me that tbone will be a little bit leniant about going off on a tangent about skimmers

but sure, back on track!

*edit*
"500th ATI vs BK discussion."
care to provide a link to any such discussion? i've had a really hard time finding much on the BKs or the BMs actually. sometimes I have bad seach luck (or I just suck at it

 

[moo0o]

agreed on to the next jack


The Ati has lots of air but the design lend itself to more turbulence than the BKs. They are kind of short so less turbulence is reduced in the top of the skimmer, this is something the cones like the SM and ATB do well.

the biggest drawback to the ATI is that it is very sensitive when it is oversized for the tank the foam head can collapse easier due to the extra turbulence,

that said they are a good price but these new MSX skimmers have the same pump and are cheaper, and taller with a better bubble plate.



oh and whooooo hooo 10k chuckleheaded posts...

 

[tbone28]

GSM - thanks, but no worries. I've hijacked enough threads myself

Ryan, to be honest, I don't know anything about BM skimmers. Have never looked into them. Sorry I couldn't be of any help

LOL, you know me so well! :lol: I went over to Zeovit.com to read up about BK skimmers. Seems like more usage over there.
