    I have a Bubble Master 250. For the most part it's a great skimmer, the mesh wheel needs a bit of tweaking to get it to start reliably after shutting it down. I had it running on my 90 gallon and it will be the backbone for my 265.

    This is about a week and a half’s worth on the 90 gallon with a bare bottom containing three fish.

    It helps to have a spouse that has the bug. I've put the skimmer cup in with the dishes. We are running a Coralife Super Skimmer and 2 Eshopps Skimmers, they both need cleaning weekly. May I add that I hate the Super Skimmer? Anyway, at the store we have a EuroReef RS135, 2 Becket's (made by Reef Concepts), on SeaLife Systems and an AquaC Urchin. They all get cleaned on Monday's and all but the AquaC has a collection cup.
