You see the New Skimmer?
Saw it on Premiums.

I saw that but it will be under the Vertex name, right? I wonder if I should wait to see the reviews of this skimmer. I am still trying to figure out the difference in the Supermarin and the Deluxe

Royal-Exclusiv / Vertex Cone

I preordered it, theres a thread in the RE and PA sponser area's. It will not be a vertex, it will be a Royal Exclusive. RE bought the machining and presses and rights to all of the equipment from Bubble King.

RE = Bubble King.

From what I understand RE is the man. and BK is a brand, not sure though. From what I hear these will not have the BK name on them but will have the same quality and will feature Red Dragon pumps.

Klaus is the man. Royal-Exclusiv is the company. Bubble-King and Red Dragons are his products.

Vertex bought the Machining and such... its all in the thread I posted.

O, ok. I didn't know the relationship with Vertex, sorry about the misinformation guys.

Why would anyone get a BK Mini 200 when this cone out-performs it for less $$$$?

 

[uhuru]

are we talking RE quality at Vertex pricing? sounds like quite the deal!

 

[sgarron]

Anyone want to buy a Octo Extreme 200 for $999?

This looks like a helluva skimmer.

Vertex and Royal Ex share the distributor Proline Aquatics.

I am sure that is how they hooked up somewhere down the line.

vertex=proline. From my understanding Proline bought out the old molds from euroreef. Made them more affordable and slapped a new name on them. Since Proline is the US distributor for RE they already have a great relationship there. So proline wanted to come out with a Premium Cone skimmer and had RE make them for them. The $999 price is only available until they come in. And someone would buy the mini 200 if they needed the smaller footprint. No different than buying a msx 160 over the 200.

euroreef ?

euroreef never made cones, cones are not that long on the market, would surprice me if euroreef had old molds, and never sold any,

but what do i know, how do you know that ?

Old molds for the vertex line, that were purchased for the rest of the vertex line. the molds for the cones are new and proline owns them.
