Wow, Great prices!

If only I could convince my wife the extra $1000 for the 300 external over the ORCA Dart is worth it....

The CFO of my family is always the hardest sale for my toys as well!

mariocaz · 07/23/2007, 02:48 PM

Wow Jeremy, very great news my friend!!!

When can we see it in the site ?

Andrew · 07/23/2007, 03:47 PM

Why!!!!

Now I'm going to have to decide on a bubble King or a Tunze 9420!

xinumaster · 07/23/2007, 03:51 PM

As far as tank capacity goes these skimmers are seriously underrated from the manufacturer. We are going to go back and put some new numbers on them in the next few days or so.

As far as wattage consumption and air volume goes we do have those numbers, just let me know which models you're interested in.

Thanks,
Jeremy

xinumaster · 07/23/2007, 05:26 PM

Can you post spec for 300 ext and 400 ext?

send you pm.

Dwarf Seahorses · 07/23/2007, 05:28 PM

ARE THESE SPECIAL INTRODUCTORY PRICES OR PERMANENT PRICES?

Jeremy that is awesome news I was thinking of upgrading soon. I will defintely be keeping my eye open here. Did bubble king switch importers? If you were going to upgrade to a 120 gallon with a 30 gallon sump and want to stock heavy which model would you go with?

These are permanent prices, not special introductory pricing. This pricing will stay this way until we see a price increase a year or two down the road.

I would be intrested in the Mini Bubble King 200 if the spec check out ok for a 225g.

I can't really go into any details about distribution of the product on our end. I can say that the presence Bubble King will have here in the US now will be awesome and Premium Aquatics is very excited to be involved with it!

You would have no problem with a Mini 200 on a 225g tank, and heavily stocked at that. The unit is rated from Royal-Exclusiv at 263g on the high side, but I personally feel it should handle up to 300 gallons on the high side, maybe a little more. As I mentioned earlier, I think the Bubble King skimmers are a bit conservative on their ratings, which is actually a bit of fresh air considering a what a lot of other manufacturer's claim.

Thanks,
Jeremy

Nuuze · 07/23/2007, 08:55 PM

Wow! Please let us know when they are listed on your site with spec, measurements and pics!

DeltecRules · 07/23/2007, 09:06 PM

Jeremy whats the largest rating you would give a 200 external?

kenettson1 · 07/23/2007, 10:58 PM

Wow! Great News!

A local dealer selling Bubble Kings at good prices!

I'll contact you when I sell my Deltec.

Fliger · 07/24/2007, 02:19 AM

That is sweet. One of my favorite products with one of my favorite vendors. Congrats Jeremy and kudos to you & Klaus for getting better pricing. The 300 Ext (best skimmer I've ever used) is almost six bones less than other vendors!

This was from Klaus on a different website. Is this still the deal?

Royal-Exclusiv building three modells :
Mini-BK 160mm for tanks up to 400 litres = 400 Liter air-intake
Mini-BK 180mm for tanks up to 600 litres = 600 Liter air-intake
Mini-BK 200mm for tanks up to 800 liters = 800 Liter air-intake

Nick A · 07/24/2007, 03:23 AM

I'm really diggin the prices. I may end up doubling the time I plan on saving for my next skimmer to be able to get one of those bad boys

...which is a good chance since I would love to own one.

Travis · 07/24/2007, 05:30 AM

Oh No, due to your lower prices, the resale value on my 400 just went down.

Just kidding guys. This is great to see. One of the best vendors in the country now carrying the best skimmer line at the best prices.

Will you be able to offer warranty services on BK's that were purchased from somewhere else before you guys started carrying them?

SuAsati · 07/24/2007, 06:43 AM

Awesome.... is the external 300 the same price as internal 300?

Jeremy B. · 07/24/2007, 08:39 AM

There is a typo on the pricing of the 300 internal. This skimmer should actually be priced at $1999, NOT $2129.

Jeremy B. · 07/24/2007, 08:46 AM

I would estimate up around 450gallons, maybe a little more just depending on load. RE rates it at 395gallons.

The specs have actually changed a little in terms of water and air flow. Bump each of the Mini's up by 200lph each in terms of air flow, and the water flow has increased just a little.

I am not 100% sure on this. I will have to get with a couple of people first and see what we could work out. It is a possibility though!

Andrew · 07/24/2007, 09:24 AM

Hey Jeremy, Do you know what the dim. of the Mini-BK 160 model will be? Also, Could it handle a 75 gallon tank?

BreadmanMike · 07/24/2007, 12:15 PM

I almost have the wife talked into it!
Can you please post specs on these bad boys?
