Looking for some recommendations on which Bubble King to get for new tank coming in March.

280 gal DT
75 gal Sump
light to medium stocked
heavy feeding
(fuge, uv, DOS, ato, awc, chiller, Apex)

Supermarin 200 + RD3
DeLuxe 200 + RD3 (leaning toward this one)
Cone 250 + RD3

Slight price difference, slight height difference...does one stand out over the other and why???
I am hoping to find one on sale day after Christmas. :D (yeah right)

Thank you.
 
Double cone 200 or 250 if I had to guess. Really depends on the bioload. I run the double cone 200 on my 240 cube. 25 fish and I feed it 6 times a day and the skimmer doesn’t even sweat to keep up. They are very conservative when it comes to ratings and heir ability to perform.
