[jthao]

here's the new addition to the family:

do you guys know if this is the latest model of the BK D200 Int?
That's what the original owner told me, ..... I don't know cuss every picture I've found online from vendors shows that the BK D200 internal has a cone shape neck, but the one I have barely has a neck.

@jthao

Yes... is the newest and last Modell of Bubble King 200 internal....

regards.. Klaus

 

[jthao]

klaus: thanks for the response. so I'm guessing the online vendors all have picture of the older model d200 internal. thanks for clarifying.

Klaus or anyone that knows the answer-
How much air the BK Mini 200 Gen 2 is pulling out?

thanks,

I think it's about 1700liters of air per hour.

Wow, 1700 lph? Really? That's VERY impressive if it's the case here.
Can anyone confirm this? I heard the BK Mini 200 Gen 2 pulled out 1000 lp/h of air but wasn't sure.

200 prob does - it pulls 38 watts and the 180, the one I have pulls 28 watts and pulls 800 lph per Aquarium Spec. site - they forgot to give the 200 air pull

Thanks everyone for the answers. So they advertise it as being a 1700 lp/h skimmer, yet it pulls 1100 lp/h???
That's bad if this is the case. There's a big difference here

 

[newmoon]

I would LOVE to hear from Klaus or anyone at Royal/Proline about these numbers, as this is a skimmer I'm considering to get.

Thanks!

 

[reefkoi]

That sounds about right, I have a 2500 that pulls about 1800lp/h of air, somehow I don't think with the american voltage or something that they don't always pull exactly as listed? Maybe it's just me, I'd love to hear from the sellers or manufactures as well.

I'm new to BKs........ so did I make a stupid decision by buying a BK deluxe 200 Internal, when I should've just bought a mini 200?? seems like from the specs, the mini 200 draws even more air/water than my d200??

So would the mini 200 outperform the deluxe 200 internal?

ALL's I can say is that I have a BK SM 200 which is rated at approx. 1500l/ph and my Dwyer meter max is 1500 and the skimmer went far beyond that. I was impressed by its performance.

I dont think you made a bad decision, its a different skimmer. The Deluxe is more adjustable, and has a larger reaction chamber than the minis, also Deluxe model has big block motor with anti lime by pass which is a benefit as well. Air input is an important factor but its not everything.
Hope this helps.
