kriz2fer Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 After going back and fourth on skimmers I narrowed it down to the bubble king 180 and the royal exclusive alpha 170. I ended up getting the royal exclusive alpha and boy this skimmer is a work of art. The build quailty of this skimmer is simply amazing and its so heavy. After looking online and guessing how big it was gonna be, this defiantly surprised me with the size of this skimmer. link http://www.saltysupply.com/Royal-Exclusiv-Alpha-170-Cone-Skimmer-p/VX-PS-A170.htm?gclid=CKq314f1tbICFWdxQgodxHcAJQ video from brs] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lewisriverfisherman Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Nice skimmer!!! lets see pics of that thing rockin!(rock2) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kriz2fer Posted September 15, 2012 Author Share Posted September 15, 2012 Both skimmers are made by royal exclusiv in the same factory. The alpha has the exact same pump that the bubble King 180 has. You gotta see this skimmer in person, the acrylic feels like no other. Once you see the skimmer in person you'll understand the quality. I had an sro 2000 before this and you can see a huge difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gill Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 That is a work of art!!! I still think we need to have a skimmer comp, no prizes just bragging rights. If we do I think I will put some money down on this pony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
