Klaus I can't tell from the collection cup but do they some with a drain?

DeltecRules · 08/13/2007, 05:51 PM

Klaus one more question, the water line you show where the water should be in the skimmer, is that with the air on or do you adjust the water by restricting the air without any bubbles or foam to find the true water level in the skimmer?

omg that is just too cool must have it....

there are going to be 103 happy customers.

abark · 08/13/2007, 06:50 PM

Well, I think those picutres sealed the deal for me. Are you still expecting the shipment on 8/17? If they do come in will they be shipped out on the 17th? It would be great if I could get it Friday.

Also, I have not seen this posted yet but what is the warranty on these?

hahnmeister · 08/13/2007, 11:56 PM

100 years!!!

Scott...
all Mini Buble Kings have a drain line...
the waterlevel you can change with drill the edgepipe. You can not reduce the air or the waterflow by the Minis.......

Warranty time of all RE-Products is 2 years...

100 years is a little bit to long..

regards.. Klaus

here pictures from different sizes of Mini Bubble King Line... and Minis in action....

8 pallets with 103 skimmers (and parts) are on tour to US...

best regards... Klaus

Klaus is that the mini 200 in action? And the pic were you have the collection cup off is that were the water level is suppose to be in the skimmer?

hahnmeister · 08/14/2007, 09:39 PM

It shows the water level on the sticker in the third picture. I think if you wanted to control the air intake, you could just cut the airline before the silencer, and put a valve on there... prolly a quick-connect waterline fitting from depot... the airline looks like 3/8" waterline.

on the Delux internal model, which one would be appropriate for a 260gal tank, with SPS and really, really, heavy fish load?.....

hahnmeister · 08/15/2007, 12:11 PM

Im betting he will say 400...

Klaus Jansen · 08/15/2007, 01:35 PM

@Susati...
260 gallons = 980 liters... i think the BKDeluxe 250 is perfect for you and by very hard bioloted, the Bubble King 300 internal/external..

@Jon,
the Modell 400 are to big for Susatis tank...

D

regards... Klaus

xinumaster · 08/15/2007, 01:40 PM

What would you recommend for 375g tank with 100g sump heavily bioloaded?

Thanks Klaus, 400 isn't gonna fit in my sump anyways

, so I will go with 300.

TitansFan · 08/15/2007, 02:27 PM

How hard is it to service and clean the pump with it being inside the skimmer? Is it difficult to remove?

Creetin · 08/15/2007, 03:03 PM

I Think i will try one out, The decisions LOL, The 300, or wait for the new style? Hmmm Thats the toughest decision!

DeltecRules · 08/15/2007, 05:00 PM

Jeremy, how long will the bubble king mini pumps last and how much are replacements for each model?

Scott

TitansFan · 08/15/2007, 09:15 PM

hmm how long they will last... hah that is like asking me, someone in car sales how long an engine will last.. uhm forever sir as long as cared for, but in the end it is man made.

cost of replacement would be nice to know as well as my earlier question of ease of cleaning/servicing

With proper maintenance this should not even be a concern.

Replacement price is $475, $730 and $780. Having said that, as long as you keep the pump clean and are doing your regular maintenance you shouldn't have to worry about it at all. I have seen Eheim last for 8-9yrs on a skimmer and are still running.

Cleaning and servicing the pumps are actually very easy. When you remove the skimmer from the sump the bottom plate will come out. You then remove two titanium screws holding the pump onto that plate and you're good to go.

Waxxiemann · 08/16/2007, 12:20 PM

That's a LOT of dough for a replacement pump. Like you say though, if you take care of it, you've got nothing to worry about.

Just an observation, but based on the pump pricing it seems that the mini160 is over-priced. The difference in price between the 160 and 180, and the 180 and 200 is almost identical. However, the pump on the 160 is much less expensive than the other 2. The cost of the acrylic work should be relatively close for all 3 units.

Again, just an observation. . .It won't stop me from purchasing either the 160 or 180 but it seems odd.

Jeremy, any news on the arrival of the BK's?

Jeremy B. · 08/17/2007, 07:42 AM

I'm just setting here on pins and needles, waiting on that freight truck to back up to our dock!
