The BK skimmer you posted is the SM300 model, not the deluxe. Air intake is 2 x 1750lt/hr and water intake is 2 x 2000lt/hr. Pump wattage is 80w. All this info is taken from RD website. Except for the price, all the info in regards to the BK in the table you provided is wrong. :thumbdown:

Hope this helps! :eyebrow:

Thanks bro BFG for pointing out... the review and comparision is actuall on Royal Exclusive Bubble King 250 Deluxe Internal!! :agreed: BM300 model is way above the league for a truthful comparision with the rest... :paiseh:

So if you take the specs word by word from RD website is

Specifications

For aquarium = 800 - 2,000 L

Air = 1,500 L/H

Water = 2,000 L/H

Pump Wattage = 48W

Base Plate = 28 x 45 cm

Height = App. 65 cm

Warranty = 1 year

so my data is correct except that I posted the wrong picture..

Sorry...I repost the image from the Royal Exclusive Shop

I thought I was in RC for a moment as these things like lightset comparison are usually done with our western reefers. Thumbs up for the review!

:agreed: After sales service is v. important to me for long term peace of mind. That's why i tend to go to RD, RB or Iwarna if I need to purchase anything as I've had good experiences with them and IMO, they have good feedback from many reefers. I'm sure many bros here also have their preferred LFS, and so long as you are comfortable with your LFS, should stick to it.

And great piece of mini review of your new purchas Clee! I think you have done v. detailed research before reaching your skimmer decision and kudos to sharing it with us. Looking forward to more reviews on your new toy, and I think I speak for many who would like to know the quality and performance of this new pump/skimmer, and after sales service (not saying it will, but just in case murphy does strike)

Thank bro comycus for your good comments.. I would say I am very happy with new toy now :thumbsup: ... as to the after sales service ...you might need to check back to this thread in one year time.. :yahoo:

gratz on your new buy CLee!!! If anything goes wrong with the skimmer, guess you can always bang on the factory door for spare parts since you're staying so close. LOL:upsidedown:

Thanks sis,

We almost can bang on each other door if you got the house near mine... :chair:

Bro,

You really need to check out the height of your sump to see if I can go in or not.. for my 6 footer, I took me a few tries to finally squeezed it in...as the piping was block the way... <_<

erm between sk and sm whats the different beside the shape and cost =.=? thought of sk201 but sk 251 is much much more powerful lei haahaah

IMO, the shape makes the different - "conical-shape has distinct design advantages - the bubbles in the reaction chamber are forced to move vertically upward, resulting in natural foam formation to minimize bubble bursting. This natural foam formation of the bubbles reduces surface agitation, thus creating a gentle foaming within the skimmer and results in increased skimming efficiency. Together with the use of the bubble plate design, turbulence within the reaction chamber is significantly reduced, allowing maximum air flow capacity in a compact skimmer."

The reason the cone shape skimmer are more costly..becoz the cylinder need to be special made as compared to the standard cylinder.. other than that the engine (pump) is the same... :agreed:

so those LRs go into in the four baskets as fliter media... :yahoo:

Hopefully this will provide better filtered water in conjunction with the new Skimmer.. :score:

He..he.. done some renovation to the 3-in-1 Sump/refugium/frag tank... :eyebrow:

post-16749-079393200 1285658323_thumb.jp

This is the new home for little blackie... :thumbsup:

post-16749-016900400 1285658403_thumb.jp

Also got it a little friend so that it is not lonely in the new home... the yellow coral goby...

The main reason this yellow coral goby is in the sump is because it is the reason why many of my SPSs are stressed.. :thumbdown: So, another lesson learnt... small little fellow can do big damages...don play play..

Any other ideas what are good to keep little blackie company and train it to become a real night knight one day ...before realesing it to the dark forest someday?? :sick:

Not the fault of the little fish lah. It was created that way. If you want to place fault, put it to you for not knowing how the fish would behave in the tank as you're the one who bought it, not that the little fish travel from the sea into your tank all by itself. :heh:
