Reefgeeks.com use to sell is but it's not on their website anymore. I'm not sure who is selling it in the US.

Its good. Check out the skimmer thread. Call Greg at reefgeek. They never had it on their website as an option. Always was "Coming Soon". Just place an order with him directly over the phone. I think StingNYC was trying to do a group buy before too.

I have the 250 for a 125 gallon plus 40 sump. Low energy, high quality, relatively decent price, easy to remove cup, not much else i can say.

How much do they sell for and does it include a pump/tubing/injectors/etc?

Does it only skim wet or can you set it to skim dry ?

newer versions have a gate valve on it to allow you to skim wet/dry.

 

[GQ22]

Reefgeek was nice enough to send me the gate valve for free. Works good. It is advised to have a water level of 6 to 10 inches. the shallower the water the dryer the skimmate. Ive found that around 8 inches is perfect for me.

Here is some price info and specs that I got from Reefgreek.com. They're not cheap but you do save some on the electric. The really question is how good is the pump and will it last.


Hi Michael,


The newest versions of the Bubble Master skimmers recently arrived from Germany. Unfortunately we are already sold out again, but I do have more on order which are due to arrive in the next 1-3 weeks. At this time they are not available for purchase through the web-site because the demand is greater than the supply, so if you'd like to order one I would suggest giving us a call on the toll-free at 866-295-9230 and placing a pre-order. Pricing is as follows.

ATI Bubble Master 150 Protein Skimmer ~ $399 (Up to 100 Gallons) - Dimensions: 7.5" x 6.4" x 20.5"
ATI Bubble Master 200 Protein Skimmer ~ $529 (Up to 250 Gallons) - Dimensions: 13.8" x 8.6" x 18.9"
ATI Bubble Master 250 Protein Skimmer ~ $749 (500+ Gallons) - Dimensions: 15.0" x 9.5" x 21.7"

The BM150 and the BM200 each come with one of the ATI/Sicce model Italian pumps while the BM250 comes with 2 of the same pump. I have been told that each pump draws less than 20 Watts.

If you have any additional questions, just let me know. We are here to help!
