Ya I would love to see a BK in person, compare it to the BM. I sure don't think BK are worth the price from what I have seen in pictures. Just because it's made in Germany, or Italy, does that automatically make it best? And ya Individually hand crafted, be it skimmers or cars, sure does jack up the price, due to the labour involved. BUT, no way can a human ever get the precise repeatability as a machine. To build a few things exactly the same is great, To build 1,000,000 things exactly the same, that takes a machine

Finally got this into my sump. Having some mesh impeller issues that apparently aren't uncommon but it looks like replacements will be sent out to me. It's been running a little over 24 hours now.



Been pulling some nice dark skimmate already even with the minor impeller issue. This is 24 hours worth from a lightly stocked 75 gallon tank.

I have the BMQQ for my nano tank. It's great!! I got my stuff from www.nuocean.com and they were very reasonable for shipping and everything. I see even Reefspecialty in the US is starting to carry the BM line as they've been solid performers, especially for the price.

Yes, it's an Atman pump. the problem is that sometimes the meshwheels bind and then the impeller won't turn. Mine was very moisy and then stopped running. I temporarily removed the lock ring from the front of the pump to reduce the pressure on the impeller and it runs silently at the moment but I'll need a to swap in a good impeller so I can run it with the locking ring on.
