DYI Bubble King Skimmer from ATI

[Yellow world]

Here is my ATI Bubble Master with a Eheim 1262 pump. It handles around 3000 liters.

Wow! that looks very professional done. What's the diameter of your rising tube, can you give the dimension ? Good work.

Thanks,
Loc

Have you used it yet? I heard they were having problems with the pumps running on US voltage. I have been eyeing that skimmer for some time now. Since I have the previous model skimmer. Loc, ATI is the company that I was talking to you about.

Yeah Greg, I was looking at that ATI needle wheel thing earlier. It looked kind of wierdo wheel design and heard that it didn't last too long. I don't know whether they have changed their NW style yet.

I have heard that they need to be cleaned regularly but that is a small price to pay for a pump pulling in air at more than 25 lpm!

Greg,

I just received it this morning, I do not have chance to use it.

Loc,
The tube is bigger than 1 1/2 inches.

Can I test it out for you since you already have a good skimmer?


BTW, nice score!

Who carries these?

Moonpod test it out couple months ago but his ATI did not suck in any air. Lots of folks in Germany use them since it is cheaper than BK.

Loc, i told you have that skimmer before.

Yeah, I know that's why I made BK instead.

What's the height of it? Can anyone order one of these? Thanks in advance.

a lot more professional looking than some of the diy skimmers on here. Did you build it yourself? And just because it looks like a bk doesn't mean it will work like one does it? I hear without the right pump, no matter how close it looks like the bk, it won't function like one. Is that true? If so, why waste your much money on material and time to build something that doesn't function as the real thing? Just curious.

I'm not sure that anyone will cary these until the pump issues are sorted out. And I will hold off until the new pumps come out and they work on US voltage, unlike the Eheims that come with it currently.

Thanks Yellow Word for letting me try this skimmer out tonight. Here ya go, I'm sure Yellow Word can't answer to many questions due to he has no experiences with it. He just likes to spend money and let someone test it out before it touch his crazy tank.

Can you please also test for me the Real Bubble King Skimmer external 300? Let post some pictures next week for the result of the Real Bubble King Skimmer.
Thanks for coming the BBQ today at my house.
