Bubble King Supermarin 100 or Deltec 400i

[Goofball310]

I'm moving from a IM 25 AIO to a 25 Ext and considering the new Supermarin 100 or Deltec 400i.

I'd prefer a Deltec 600 because of the cup drain, but worried it is too big and will be inconsistent.

I go on extended business trips and the tank is located at an apartment that is not my main residence. It's important that the skimmer is quiet, consistent, reliable, and ozone compatible.

I have no experience with the Bubble King skimmers. I do use the Deltec 600i on my 100 gallon reef (not my first Deltec skimmer), and I can vouch for the quality, performance, silence, and ozone compatibility of their skimmers.

i have a bubble king and love it best skimmer hands down i have ever used i have had just about every brand. its just super stable and easy to clean. it never over flows. my favorite part is the collection cup comes apart for cleaning.

The cup comes apart? I have a supermarin 300 and have owned 3 other BK's, and not sure what you are referring to.

I love my Bubble King. The inside of the collection cups pops out. Strong skimmers, quality.

Is this a prank?

I’m gonna go home and try to take my cup apart and someone in here to gonna say, “gotcha.” I’ve owned BK’s for 20 years and never knew the cup came apart.

My skimmer cup doesn’t come apart.

This is just a Google image you can see the red oring inside that center peice comes apart on mine for easy cleaning.

I do not see the o-ring on my 300 and I’ve only owned similar or larger bk’s in the past

 

[Goofball310]

Should have clarified, I did not see the o-ring on 250+ bk skimmer online.
