    So I've had the diffusion plate on my Bubble King misaligned for the last 5 months. The entire time I had this feeling something was way off and never bothered to check. So happy tobe skimming correctly again!

    On my previous tank, it was amazing. The last few months I've been wondering if it was worth the money. It seems no equipment is immune to operator error. It's a really great skimmer. The ease of cleaning and quality of components is just one reason.

    I'd get one if the price was right.

    Definitely a complicating factor. All I can say is, except for my recent issues, I've never regretted paying the money... It hurt to cough it up though.

    never heard from somebody who got one and said " I wish I got the bubble MAGUS instead" lol. For now I just gotta be happy with my Reef Octopus skimmers.

    Still VERY happy with my SC150! I think now the same skimmer is a SCA302 or something like that.

    Atman 2500 with needle wheel pump.

    No 'plate' to get misaligned- I guess mines glued in.
    Even know the price has gone up some in the last two years,
    Still mine and many others opinion that this skimmer is the best bang for the buck.

    I'm glad you now have yours working properly.
