ATI Bubble Master Skimmers

[HerbieK]

Looking for feedback on these guys. I am looking for a skimmer for my 180 gallon SPS tank.

Any comments are appreciated.

Thanks.

They are good. I think there are several threads with people's reviews and thoughts.

I just set up a 250 on a 110 gallon tank. The skimmer is a beast. The bubbles in the chamber are super find and turn the water in the chamber almost a milky white.. I think is it a great skimmer for the money. The only down side I see is the sicce pumps. I read some where that there were reliability issues with the pumps.

Tunze uses those pumps for their skimmer, so I dont know about there being reliability issues.

No problems that i see, I own one and has been perfect for 8 mos. If theres problems i have never seen them.

You might want to consider the BM200 as that would be the best fit for your tank size unless your sump is 150g. lol

There is quite a few threads open on the ATi skimmers, do a search late at night when not much people are online.

I have the BM 200 on my 90 gal w 30 sump and it seems just right for my set up. I suspect that you would probably be better off with the 250. I have the gate valve adjustment on mine and it has worked great for me for 9 months now. I have cleaned the pump twice but haven't had to replace the mesh at all. It doesn't even get clogged with any dirt which was a concern of some early on. I would wholeheartedly reccommend these skimmers.

I'm using a BM250 on my 200 reef with a fairly heavy coral load of softies, LPS and a couple SPS, and well stocked fish and inverts.
It's been running flawlessly for almost 5 mos now, with one major cleaning to the skimmer.
