• ATB skimmers - what do you say?

Dear forum participants, what do you say about the skimmers produced by ATV (Aquarium Technik BURIAN) reviews:

Sherri

Yura, you carefully looked at how much they cost. For that kind of money, I would rather make the foam with my own hands. Here is an option of exclusive prices. What is it that you find unsatisfactory? My foam makers or what? Write which foam maker you like, and I will try to make it cheaper and better.

The design is not bad, it will work. But everything has its limits. They promise that the Eheim 1260 pump will be sufficient for 1500 liters - a promising company. Judging by the price of 675 euros, they really need the money. Otherwise, it's great.

I studied their website yesterday, and besides various types of foamers, there is also a lot of different equipment made using unconventional solutions. It is noticeable that many elements are borrowed from Royal Exclusive; even in some powerful models, they initially used the Red Dragon pump from RE until they developed their own line of Air Star pumps. As for this line of cone floaters, it is probably a breakthrough for them and a departure from the prototype; the conical shape is perhaps the only difference in the fundamental design. And in terms of performance, of course, they will work well, as the design has been proven over the years.

By the way, I've been using the Bubble Master for a year now on a 1500-liter tank (mixed type aquarium), and I have no complaints - it's pure delight.

What pump does it have (performance)? 1500 liters - doesn't say anything. How many tails does it have and what size? What corals and invertebrates? Here, for example, it's also 1500 liters, and in the frame, not everything is shown yet.

2 pumps of 2500 l/h. Population - 2 yellow zebrasomas, 1 desjardini zebrasoma, 10 ocellaris, 10 blue (forgot the name), and 10 yellow anthias, 2 boxers, 7 lysmata, 7 camels, 10 strombus, 15 ophiuroids, 2 red stars, 4 urchins, 2 dogs. Size of the livestock from 5 to 10 cm, and I almost forgot - a 15 cm long Lactoris. Soft corals - 7 types of mushrooms, 2 small sarcophytons (5-7 cm cap diameter), 1 Euphyllia, 1 Clavularia. Zoanthids and Parazoanthids 4 pcs. Something like that.

Tanner

The livestock is much less.... I have 4x2500 and there is no large reserve, although the skimmer design is outdated, but the pumps have hairy parts.

Guy

Please write which Bubble Master model you are using and how much you paid for it.

Cassandra

model 250 with two pumps that. Bought in Germany. Somewhere around 579 euros Added after 10 minutes, and the carpet is green, won't it eat the fish?

Joseph

It costs quite a bit, similar, not worse, I think even better, we can do it for 300. Sometimes it happens, but rarely, mostly with newcomers. The old ones already know it.
