Looks like Bubble King has come out with some 'affordable' models. Still very expensive but I wonder how well the mini's will stack up to the recirculating Euro-Reefs and Deltecs in the same price range? :unsure :innocent

Premium Aquatics is going to be a retailer for all the models.

so the pump spins the little internal cylinder which the holes then chop the bubbles???? It looks so easy a caveman could do it??

Whats so special about those skimmers besides the outrageous pricetag? My single Beckett with a pressure pump skimms as well or better than the one in the video for 1/10th the price! Wayyyyy over priced in my opinion.

Looks like the sticker on it is printed in German. That adds extra $$$ to the cost. :P
