Royal-Exclusiv / Vertex Cone Skimmer Club

Hey guys, I'm new to the club. Getting my alpha 170 on Tuesday. Couldn't pass up on the price from premium aquatics sale. It was down to the 170, the ATB 840, or an I-tech 200. I think it was a no brainer. The red dragon pump is the best deal. Just for help, can you guys tell me how I should set it up when I get it. I am getting a new sump for now (tupperware), going to be upgrading in a year. I am going to have the water level at 9" and I think I will have the venturi out 2 turns. I will leave the valve all the way open to klet it break in for a couple of days. What do you guys thimk?

By the way, Jeremy was very helpfull and I appriciate his help.

Contact Proline yourself and see what they have to say and/or if they are even aware of your LFS's request for the updated parts to your skimmer.
Find out if they have the upgrade parts in stock.

No, I dont think they will send you parts directly but they should be able to answer your questions and give you information. They have answered my questions directly in the past and they have a sponsor forum here at RC. I dont think they would bother with a forum if they werent willing to address the concerns and questions of the end user.
Im sure that they would be willing to help. Try posting a question related to your problem and ask if there is someone you can call to speak with.

This is very strange, we supplied upgrade kits to all our customers for the exact number of skimmers they sold, however we do have more in stock.
Which shop are you dealing with?

Sorry Terry to blame you,but ORG (Thomas)blame you since September.Got email from Klaus send to Tomas,and he told me you don't have the parts.October,hi told me you send the parts,so more 5 day parts is here.Now it is almost December,yesterday he blame you again.So i really don't no how to end up this magic circle.Thank you for your replay.Janos
 
Interesting!!!!!!!! I don't see how this could be the case since ORG gets a palle-tfull of goods from us on weekly or biweekly basis.
You can call us 1-877-682-3474 & ask for albert he can include the kit for you in their next shipment

Monday 1.14pm Talk with Albert,he will send to Thomas in this new shipments.
He explain what was the problem,so maybe i could get my parts.Thank you for your help.
 
Will i got my A250 today this thing is huge and skims like there is no tomorrow with in mintues it had a thick dark brown foam head pushing its way up the neck. This thing is a giant jump up from the G2 it replaced. After 3 hrs it just starting to roll in to the cup. Will update in a week if i have no problems. Thanks Jeremy and Premium Aquatics.

Any thoughts on whether the 250 will be a serious upgrade over a Bubblemaster 200? I suspect the answer is going to be a solid "YES!!!", but I wanna hear it from some people before dropping the money. :)

Hey guys,

I am debating between an alpha 170 or 200. My sump is tight as it is, my total water volume is 140gal and my tank is stocked medium to heavily. Which skimmer would give me the best performance?

Also how many of you are running filter socks? I run one now but if I go for the alpha I might have to forgoe the sock because my sump is so tight. But the skimmer would be sitting right next to the drain lines so perhaps most of the stuff would get taken care of by the skimmer, what do you guys think? Am I even wasting my time with the sock, would removing it increase skimmer performance regardless of skimmer?
 
Rob,

I think you would be fine with either one to be honest. The 200 would allow for a little more capacity on down the road if ever needed. We have 1 Alpha 170 left in stock, and a few of the 200's.

Thanks,
Jeremy
