AP701 is a great skimmer... will surely skim 10 times more than your current skimmer :D Have you contacted RD for stock? Better call early to avoid disappointment :) All the best to you bro... and do do a product review on it :)

Good to hear that things have been sorted....how high is the last baffle and what's the water level in the skimmer section of the sump? U might wanna consider raising it to like 10 inches or so....need to check and see what is the optimum level for your intended skimmer...

cheers

The water level is 8 inches, anyone know what the level should be for a Deltec 701?

Why does Singapore you inches, feet, and gallons?

In terms of air intake, the AP701 is higher then 851 partially due to the height of the skimmer.

As for 851, since it got longer body, the overall reaction time will be longer! ;)

The European AP851 is fitted with 1 Eheim pump drawing in 600lts of air per hour.

The AP701 produces a maximum level of air at 750 lts per hour but will be more efficient in most aquariums turned down to 600-650 lts using the tap

It is possible, I could, if I can find one in Southern Germany or Amsterdam by the first two weeks of Sept.

Anyone know how i could locate one in Munich or Amsterdam?

Is it worth the extra cost over a AP 701?

Personally... depending from which angle you look at it.

They are both good... both reliable... both will do the job well... both tested... but Bubble King has a sense of luxury that comes with the brand... exclusivity is the word... it's distinctive RED is a very nice feature... the thick plexi glass construction... the legendary Red Dragon pump...

You gotto to ask yourself in the end... is your tank worth it?

Just like what Loreal makes us believe... "Coz I'm Worth it!"... ok I'm talking nonsense today :upsidedown:

I don't even know or have talked to another reefer in Thailand :lol:

Oh there isn't a FORUM in Thailand? Oh that's quite a pity :( Well... if you own a Bubble King... you will be exclusive throughout the world... here in Singapore... all over :lol::lol::lol: But you will have to pay double for that prestige... :D Rolex doesn't come cheap dear... I'm not referring to those from Chatuchak Market :lol:

I've been quoted a price for a MiniBK 200 internal in Germany for 2,400 SGD, thats pretty much excalty 1,000 SGD more than a Deltec 701 (not including shipping costs of the Deltec to Thailand.)

The rating is different.

Deltec701 is rated for 1000 litres tank.

BK-200 is rated for. . i cant remember. .

Anyway u might as well get bk-300 cuz the price difference is not tt much.. maybe a couple of hundreds more. .

I looked at various skimmers for ages and even after moving the baffle in my sump I was still only left with a 30 x 35 footprint area. None of the skimmers I wanted fitted!!! Deltec 701, Ati BM etc...

So I'm having a new sump made to fit the H & S, which I happend to get for a alright price, wasn't really a choice, but i'm happy with it. Looks well built and like its going to have loads of power.

The new sump design is not going to leave room for the MD55 so i'm currently looking for a new in sump return pump. Aquabee or Ehiem, think I should try get a Aquabee due to power consumption.

Glad to see you finally decided on your skimmer. Tho i haven't used an HnS personally, rest assured that it would do great in ur tank. After all, they're using similar needlewheel pumps as the Deltecs if i'm not mistaken.

Shoot some pics of the new sump. And the aquabee does sound like a good choice, u can also consider AquaMedic Ocean Runners, they're pretty power efficient as well.

Keep the updates comin! ;)
