That skimmer is a rockstar, I wouldn't mod a thing.
I owned both the deluxe 250 and the supermarin 250

Thinking about my future build, I am considering another external model. Perhaps the 200 or the 250 external. I am curious though, I would prefer to have the RD 1500 paired with the 200 body and the RD2000 paired with the 250 body as opposed to how the pumps are paired in the traditional external models.
Could I special order the 250 skimmer with the RD 2000 pump, instead of the 1500?

People on here say you can't get 0 nitrates with a sm and only a deluxe.
There is no mod for this, sorry. The wedge pipe works fine on the SM though.
Better yet, you don't even need to special order anything, just swap the impellers. All of the Super Marin and Deluxe skimmers use the exact same motorblock, it's then just the impeller assemblies and venturi that differ between the models. All you would need to do in this scenario is make an impeller swap.
Also, we have the Deluxe's on sale right now, you save $428 on a 200Ext, and $470 on a 250Ext.
We have overstock on our Bubble King Deluxe skimmer line which means you can now save hundreds off the retail price of any Bubble King Deluxe 200, 250, or 300 model skimmer. Both Internal and External models are on sale!
Example:
Deluxe 200 Internal
Regular $1837
Sale $1469
Save $368!!!
Sale is good while supplies last, but don't wait too long, Bubble King Deluxe models have never been offered at this low of a retail price! **Note all skimmers are brand new, and the most current up to date versions!**

So what skimmer would you recommend for a 233 gal tank 50 gal sump? SM 200/250 or BK 200/250 INT?

You're between a 200 and 250 series to be honest. I think out of all of them (Alpha's included here), that the Deluxe might be best for you. The reason being is that you have the taller reaction chamber with it (more efficiency / capacity) and would allow you to stick with a 200 series instead of paying more for the 250.

D'oh! :headwallblue:I pulled the trigger and ordered the SM200. Should I return it for the Deluxe when I get it?
Hi again guys, been putting some ozone through my BK Double Cone and having a bit of a problem
I am running 50mg per/hr and the red stiff airline is corroding after a day or so and disintergrating ?
I thought these were ozone ready out of the box, or am I putting the ozone through the wrong place?
here is a pic to show where I am connecting the ozone
I am connecting to the top of the red airline hose inbetween the water level adjuster pipe and the silencer, and this is the airline that is corroding after a day or so, the silicone airline I am using is fine.
Thx for looking

Yes I'm using the TMC v2 ozone generator with 2 lights active that should be 50mg/hr
It's strange because the silicone airline from the ozone unit to the skimmer is fine just the stiff red hose in picture is degrading.
I have now just cut out the connection to the red hose and gone straight to the pump with silicone tubing.
Cool, I hate to keep asking these questions, but I had real trouble getting a standard 6mm airline to fit onto the red dragon pump connector
and am not really happy with how I have it connected as it seems to be to tight and is kinking over the connector.
What size do bubble king use as I cant see it in the manual and cant find a email for them.
Again thx for help and answering my questions
Good evening. I have a skimmer BK mini 160 Gen1. It worked fine for 6 months, but now there is a problem. The pump stopped working, I stripped, washed and cleaned calcifications with vinegar.Now the pump is running again, but does not produce enough bubbles as before. It looks like in fresh water, the pump seems to be weak... I cleanned everything (including pipes and air intake) and continues without producing real bubbles. The bubble plate is in write position. What might be happening? Thanks
