i was looking at buying a new skimmer and im kind of tied up between one of those bubble masters and an rs 250. and my system is a 125 gal tank with a 40 gal sump and soon to have a 20 gal refugium

I wanted a bubble master but had a really hard time finding one. ended up getting a euro-reef.

bubblemaster is a GREAT skimmer when it's working. The pumps are finicky and hard to get serviced. For this reason I cannot recommend one. I use it and love it but hate it too.

Look at other meshwheels as there are now other options out there.

I have a supermarine250 and think its the best skimmer ever made.

FYI, that's a BubbleKING model - different league altogether.

Hi Blaster

Where did you get your skimmer and how much did it cost.

i like the BM 250 with the Dual pumps alot, however the shafts are starting to wear a bit causing the skimmer pumps to stall when the power goes off or i turn it off. its like a knocking noise that i hear. I may end up getting a BK 180 for my 150. But beckett skimmers are what i think will pull out crap and you dont have to worry about the becketts going or getting broke they last forever......
