Default Bubble King or Foaminator MAX 5200 Protein Skimmer
Does anyone know where BK skimmers can be ordered in Canada? I am seriously thinking of upgrading my skimmer ASAP.

thanks!

Thanks, how did I miss hiddenreef!

I am trying to decide between the 300 or EmilyB's Foaminator MAX 5200 Protein Skimmer. Any suggestions?

Does anyone have any info on the ATI or are they just the poorman's bubble king?

Are the Foaminator's that good? I cannot see anything online about them except their homepage. No reviews or anything.

I already have a good skimmer, but as I am switching to ZeoVit, and I want to get the best skimmer available.

The Foaminator is a design by Brent Barr (zephrant over at RC). He's done some solid beckett skimmer builds. I don't think anyone would be unhappy with one of those skimmers. If you want to see one in action, Jim Barry has one as well - shoot him a PM and ask for his opinions. HTH!

Tom R and Jason Mck are both using ZeoVit systems.....you might want to PM them and get their opinions.
