Can i replace my sicce pump on my SWC200 with a Bubble Blaster or 5000?
Bubble Blaster on SWC 200?
- Thread starter huskysglare1

Yes! There is a little work to get it to adapt i believe but it can be done and it's 10X better than the sicce pump. I had a BB200 on my Octo extreme 160. It will work even better on the SWC200.
Do a search on here, there is an entire thread based on doing this.

I already have the red demon pinwheel on my swc200. I dont think its enough for my system. I was thinking of getting the xp-5000 or swc 250a cone. From what i am getting, a new pump upgrade for my swc200 is not worth it. I might just go with the xp-5000, but its so expensive.

Try a Tunze 9420 hydrofaomer I used the Sicce 2500 eheim 1260 and the Tunze 9420 on my I-tech 200 skimmer Great pump low wattage starts every time

I was thinking of getting the BB 5000. Hiii. if it's too much for the body, i'll just drill some holes at the bottom.
You can ask Mojo~ [skimmer guy/guru] in his help thread.
I did ,and to add what I said before. If you are running a stock MSX/SWC 200
body.[no neck extender] Then the BB2000 is a better match on that stock body. You can only get so much thru the stock body.
And yes some have used a BB3000. Which I asked that also. His answer ^^^
I chose to take his advice. And I have a friend that is also running a
MSX/SWC 200 body with a BB2000 on his 180gal. And also luvs it.

i am still debating. I have two options. I can buy the pump and place it on my skimmer for 225 more or i can buy a new skimmer and sell my SWC 200.
A new SWC 300A Cone is 650. I can probably get 150-200 for the SWC 200. so, we're looking at around 450 difference. That means i'll have to put in another 300. So, 300 for an upgrade from SWC 200 Sicce to SWC 300 cone Askoll.

If i ever decide to sell the skimmer with the BB, i wouldn't wouldn't worth much. It'll probably sells for about 200, even with the BB. However, the SWC 300 A Cone will sell $400+. I think i'll sell the SWC 200 and buy the 300a Cone.
I'm not really sure on the 2000 Vs 3000. On the Reef Specialty site, they recommend the 3000. They work a lot with the Coralvue stuff.

I really want to get the SWC 300 Cone, but i can't seem to get a confirmed FootPrint. Saltwaterconnection says 13.5x19.5x25.75 while the US distributors say 16x22x27. I don't even know which is right.
