Ruth what in the Heck do you do for a living here Im making well over 65,000 a year and can't afford a bubble King..

[Joe Reefer]

Now thats a SKIMMER. You really dont believe in over skimminig do you.

[Ruth]

Hmmm - I had to google search to see what the heck dilithium crystals were - and I think they must have been included at the price I paid for that beast.
I will try and get a picture with something in it for scale but suffice it to say it is big although I don't really think I would fit inside - and no I do not believe you can overskim a tank if you are doing regular water changes as well to replenish any trace elements that might be used up or skimmed out. IMO there is far more to be gained by skimming a tank aggressively than might be lost due to heavy skimming.

:shocked!:



:crazyeye:


Wholley mackeral. Now thats a skimmer. I think. :lol: Looks like a beast Ruth. Cant wait for action shots.

Hey Ruth
By the way we forgot the dilithium crystals,It will be shipped to you asap:mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
If you like to guess about how this skimmer perfoms ,just look @ how thick are the air intake hoses!!!!!!!!!
Yes Jason that is a BK500 ,there is only one model bigger which is the BK650 ,That is the one thomas phol uses on his wholesale facility
BK 500 is rated for 580 gal to 1320 gal ,which in my opinion is very much underrated ,the cast is 22" diameter!!!!!!!!!!!!!:twised: :twised:

Dont Spill The Cup!

[Ruth]

Take a look at the size of the cup - I can barely lift it if it is full.
