Which one would you get?
For almost the exact same cost would you guys get a Bubbleking Deluxe 300 Internal or an ATB 12.5 Deluxe Internal. I am leaning towards the ATB but figured I would get the experts opinions.

Go ATB. Others may come close but they can't match Victors service. The fact that ATB skimmers preform as advertised is another plus.

ATB. I believe parts for a BK are much more expensive if you can find them.

I have used both brands. BK is hands down better build quality.

A couple BK fans. That is good to see.
Ultimately for me it is going to be which one keeps the water cleaner. I hope I wont damage it by just having it sit in the sump so although build quality is important it is performance I am really after. When it comes down to the "gunk factor" who wins? |
