Which bubble king skimmer would be best for me?

[puggsli1]

Thinking about ordering the bubble king double cone 180 for my 100 gal sps tank with heavy fish load. Is that a good choice or should I be looking at the bubble king mini?
Thanks

Just ordered the double cone 180. Hope it works well for me.

I am sure it will, looks like a really nice skimmer, post some pictures when you get it up and running.

Very good Skimmer. Ordert them with a RD3 Speedy Pump ? Very silent, speedadjustable DC Pump.

 

[puggsli1]

Yep ordered it with the rd 3 dc pump. What would be the best speed to run this guy at? and water level?

 

[Klaus Jansen]

Waterlevel for the 180 : ... 15-24 cm, best Level 18-20 cm. Speed, maybe 25-30 Watt ( Bioload ? ) you found the best Adjustment in a short Time .....

Just received the skimmer. Great packing by premium aquatics. Every thing arrived in great shape. Now I just need to make a stand for it and I should be good.

Glad to hear you got it ok, thank you for the order! Update us with some pics on here once you get it up and going.

Finally got the skimmer up and going last night. The pump is dead quiet but I can here the silencer/resonator pulling in a lot of air. Shouldn't it be quiet and have a piece of foam in it? Mine does not have the foam piece.

 

[Jeremy B.]

Yes, it should definitely have the foam in it. If it does not after you opened it up please send me an email to jeremy@premiumaquatics.com with your order name and I'll get a foam inlay shipped right out to you.

 

[puggsli1]

Email sent.

 

[Jeremy B.]

This shipped out for you yesterday, you should have it in just a few days.

Thanks Jeremy, the foam arrived today. Now my skimmer is dead quiet.
