I was at Premium yesterday and I have to say about 1/3 of that skimmate was there after only a couple hours... and this system has no fish.
Bubble King & "Mini" Bubble King Skimmers Coming Soon - New Lower Pricing!

Hey Jeremy,
Unless Conceyted wants it since he asked first, I'll take it!

I hear ya there... this would be going on a brand new system. I already have a mini 160, which is running perfectly, and am loving the deal here.
I'll keep ya posted.
Thanks,

Well, I think there are some resolutions here, or 'morals to the story' that we should look at, and then move on.
1. I do believe DeltecRules was having a problem. I dont see a reason for why he would make such a fuss over nothing... if he just wanted to return it from buyer's remorse or something, he wouldnt have to go to such lengths. Unless he is a guerilla marketeer for Deltec...lol.
2. We may never know the reason why he was having problems. There are many things that we may not be able to replicate. It may sound far-fetched, but the problem with the pump may even be 'dirty power' within Deltec's own power lines. When you start to add on multiple pumps, and their power factors cause the current to start to run out of a 90 degree phase angle with the voltage, strange things can happen. Deltec may have had a HID/induction ballast, or another pump(s) with poor power factors on the same circuit. His house wiring may be older, or not up to code. The pump may not have been getting the juice it should have. This just goes to show two things though... even on the best of skimmers and equipment, freak things do happen. I do believe Deltec made the biggest mistake of all by not keeping his backup until after he knew the new skimmer was working. Just consider, how SOL he could have been if UPS had broken the skimmer in some way, and he had already sold the old one. No fault of BK's or PA... these things happen. Mistakes can and will happen, even by BK. The change from 50hz to 60hz does change the performance of these skimmers, and even though Klaus has those expensive frequency conversion units ($1500 on up), its not like its going to give him as much experience as with 220v/50hz, considering where he lives. The problem may or may not have been BK's fault, but the responsibility still falls on DeltecRules in the end for keeping his own tank healthy. If you buy something, and you feel its not working, you have to do something about it.
3. play nice.

I don't want to get involved or drag out - because I like both DR and Jeremy, but I don't think Jeremy is trying to discredit you DR. He's just protecting his business. I've never seen a skimmer that never got at least one bad review, and I ran a couple skimmers that most people couldn't really figure out - very successfully. Also the Dwyer that registers up to 1,200LPH is extremely accurate, I've read people say that you need the vacuum - but I own it and have measured several Deltec and H&S Eheims, and it matches up almost exact to what Deltec & H&S advertise.
Unsubscribing now :lol:

I tried sticking a screwdriver into the bottom of the silencer and hitting it with a mallet. I tried grabbing the top of the silencer with a wrench. The darn thing wont budge at all. If I use any more force I'll destroy it. I'm having a very hard time believing that it is not glued together.
How do I get it open?

Hi Hahnmeister...
i think, the problems by Deltec Rules are many Points..
1. .. the skimmer is new...
2. .. the level in the Sump go high and down...
3. .. the electricity in her house is not okay...
in Europe the Red Dragon Pumps are vibration, when the Elictricity go under 220 Volt. This is possible, when the Pumps run at the last end of wires...
4. .. the skimmer, before comming the BK, make a good job. The bioload in her tank is very small. DR think, a BK can make a black Skimate in 2 hours..
I talking today with Jeremy and the skimmer from DR running without vibrations and make dark skimate.
Next Point : ...
sorry...it is not possible for me, make Customer-service directly by Reefers. What i can do, i want help by problems.....
Or : ...
The Customers from Royal-Exclusiv are the Distributors......
My english lenguage is to bad, for give exactly technical informations for the User. I working with translation-software and with my school-english.
The Customerservice make the Dealers and Distributors in your country.
And i think, he make a better job in your lenguage as i can do.
So i hope, you understand this and sorry, when i can not check all emails where i become every day, from RE-Users..
regards.. Klaus

Mine just came right off, its a mini 180. I had to wiggle the top tube a bit, but it worked right off.
Paradisereef, when you get the skimmer if you can, please take pics of it hooked up and running in your tank.
is DR a she? I kept hearing Klaus say her.
I think Jeremy did a good job handling this situation and I hope to see more BK skimmer pics from anyone who has a BK skimmer.

So who bought the used unit? I'm having an itching to do it but I'd have to sell my 701 to do it 
I'd LOVE to try that bad boy out!!!
