Bubble King Mini 200 - 1 week and a half old
 

Well here is the first Bubble King Mini 200 used skimmer up for sale. Purchased this skimmer new for 1129+shipping from aquariumspecialty.com. They will not do any exchanges until they find something wrong with the skimmer. There is nothing wrong with it, I just can't get it to skim dry. Maybe I need more bioload. My future plans are for a 120 gallon fish only system. Skimmer is rated for 135-265 gallon aquarium. Right now it's just sitting in a rubbermaid container with 90 pounds of rock. Will let it go for $$$$1000 shipped. I am willing to sell it 129 dollars less plus what I paid for shipping for just playing with the skimmer for less then 2 weeks. I also have the reciept showing the date and price of the skimmer. My loss is your gain. Skimmer is superquiet and excellent build in matterials.
I still have the original box, manual, and outter shipping box. Skimmer will be double boxed the same way I recieved it. I am planning to go with a used H&S or Deltec.

Once again price is 1000 firm. Will keep it if I don't sell it for 1000.

Out of the box

The skimmate was poured on the H&S skimmer collection cup (I already sold that :( ) and it shows much darker there. I guess Bubble King uses a much more clearer acrylic and also too much white and brighter PVC compared to grey.

The skimmer is still breaking in, How do you know it wont skim dry?
Good luck with the sale.

The skimmer is boxed up right now and ready to be shipped. I just gave up fiddling with the skimmer after 10 days. Maybe I should have waited a little longer but I don't think I have enough bioload at the moment. The skimmer was skimming 90 pounds of previously cured live rock. My system is not up yet. I am still in the process of plumbing. If you have a sump with constant water level achieved by a precise auto top off, then this skimmer is perfect for you! I am going towards a used H&S recirculating skimmer which will sit outside my sump.

Here is a photo of my unclomplete plumbing

There was a thread which I can't seem to find where DeltecRules bought a defective BK Mini 200 from Premium Aquatics where the pump had a bad needlewheel impeller and the pump was ratling like crazy. He returned to the vendor back and the vendor sold it around 880 plus shipping and it was bought in a heart beat. I don't get it. Mine is not defective, skimmer is dead quiet, skimmer produces crazy amount of bubbles but I just can't get it to skim dry and I guess it's due to the amount of bioload and skimmer is still available for 900 shipped!!!! :confused:
