Well I think Bubble King needs a better player in the 150 gallon and smaller tanks, I think the small cone fits that bill perfectly where as the Mini’s maybe or may not.

Looks pretty promising, anything bk makes I will for sure use:) With all the great skimmers around its kinda hard to go wrong with a purchase…I try not to look to deep into those things but if they are proven i’ll use it lol

[...] quality. No where can this be seen more than in the cone skimmer niche. ATB Econo and the brand new Royal Exclusiv-Vertex Cone are prime examples of high end luxuries shifting to attract intelligent and conservative [...]

The skimmers are made for Vertex according to the specs they asked.
Klaus still believes that Double cone design works better.

Just lots of conflicting statements out there, I will wait and see how it pans out. I guess there really is something to these cones

@Nick, As you well know there’s a lot going on right now. Let’s just make sure we’re keeping a level head until all the details are released.

Just a reminder to those reading, any comments that have a hint of malicious intent are not be allowed on GBD.

This is a hot issue right, but remember to still act with tact & professionalism.

More confusion, yesterday Klaus said it was his skimmer destined for total automation then this morning jeremy announced that it is a bubble king built Vertex, since when does RE build skimmers for Anybody? klaus has been claiming since he fell out with Anton that he invented the cone along with that claim he has made many conflicting statements, he has also stated publicly many times that he dislikes full cones, and says double cones like the SM are superior.
