Bubble King Skimmer Worth it?
 
Looking at various skimmers and was wondering if bubble king are as good as hyped to be?

They are amazing for sure. But there's a lot of skimmers out there that are 1/4 of the price that do the job relatively the same. I personally wouldn't waste the money... simply because I don't have it.

If I was rolling around in cash... I would buy one.

It's kinda like asking if a Ferrari is worth it.

Yes, but a Chevy will get you to your destination as well.

I haven't used a lot of different skimmers.
Mostly budget skimmers.

I've only heard the hype about BK.
I can't afford a new one.
I picked up a used BK200mini and it's on my current display.

All I can say is Wow the thing is a Fn beast!
Would definitely recommend.

I absolutely loved my Alpha 170 and my 200. Best skimmer's i've had yet. However i'm running a Skimz right now and honestly, it's the same skimmate production.

I have the Vertex Alpha 200 and have no complaint with it. Once it was dialled in it has been working flawlessly.
