I also own a Bubblemaster, I have the 250. While I haven't put it to the test yet as it's breaking in while I set my big tank up I can't see it having any problems handling my tank.

Here is a picture of the 300 alongside the 250 & 200

You know what the problem with BM's is? Product support. Or rather, the lack thereof. I'd hate to slam a company, but I've emailed ATI several times over issues with their BM skimmers and not a single reply was sent. We're talking major issues here (body cracks, pump seizes, etc).

Other than that, as people have stated here, they perform admirably for their price point.

Personally, I'd wait until the next InterZoo pet expo before making an expensive decision concrete (should be sometime this summer).
