    i would buy a bubble king, or vertex. i have a bubble king 180 now, works great, even for my 240 gal. but would really consider the new vertex skimmers.

    I've never had a Deltec, but I've had a host of others. I've never had one that has been as consistently good as the Bubble King I've got now.

    yeah i would try bubble king if i had a choice... i have tried many others... but my hurricone is hands down my favorite skimmer of all.. it uses a reeflo pump that produces the most foam i have ever seen..

    i would love to put it beside a deltec or bubble king... i believe i could skim with the big boys... and its made very solide.. in fact i wouldnt hesitate to say that its as solid as a a bubble king....

    i understand that bubble king uses laguna pumps and that will probably be my next venture in pumps if this blows out lol
