Is there a neck cleaner and/or air freshener top that is compatible / ideal for the Bubble King Double Cone 180? I'm mostly interested in the air freshener top to reduce the stink from the skimmate and make my wife happier. The DC 180 is such a beast at ripping out DOC's, the skimmate builds up pretty quick and smells LOVELY.
I built my own by just sticking a bag of GAC on top of the skimmer cup, but that only works so far... Seriously though, the thing is a monster at ripping out green brown gunk. And it does so 100% dead silentl. |

Hi I just purchased a Royal Exclusiv Bubble King Double Cone 180 + RD3 Speedy for my Red Sea S650. The sump area is surrounded by a panel with only a small notch to all power cords from sump area to outlet draw. My problem is that the pump control box will not fit in that small notch and I have no room in the sump area for the black control box. Can I detach the wire from the black control box to the pump?
Thanks Ed |

a while back (on a different skimmer) i added a air hose that went from the muffler to the lid of the skimmer. this made the skimmer re-circulate the stinky air from the cup to make the bubbles within the skimmer. this is also a possibility. (it just takes an air hose…. so its easy enough to give a try.) you just attach one side to the muffler, and then stick the hose in a hole in the lid.

it does makes life a lot easier when running the wires, servicing the pump, or installing the skimmer into a existing setup. Considering the its a good size skimmer pump and control box. I was lucky that I have a remote sump and space is not an issue.

I'm new to the BK club….
i picked up a used BK Mini 200 and the craftsman ship is sweet. i had to clean it up before using it, and when i put it in my existing sump, it has a little vibration (i can hear it humming) the guy i got it from said it happens if when the pump is not installed straight with the Venturi hole? is there any other possibilities? i have it back out of the sump so i can check anything out. thanks!

The bearing is the exact same whether in the block or in the impeller cover. The problem is that the impeller assembly is not meant to be pulled apart like in the photograph. The magnet assembly is is press fit onto the shaft at a precise spot, as is the impeller head. You can try putting it all back together in hopes that it will go back and hold and be ok long term.

Jeremy ,
I contacted Red Sea the manufactured on my tank/ stand and they made some suggestions for me to try and I was able to installed my 180 double cone skimmer without taking apart the black control box. When I start out for the first few weeks what percentage (watts) do I use? I attached the red hose from pump to skimmer , do I remove the black cap? Thanks Ed |

I own a Double Cone 200 and I'm somewhat confused how to tune the skimmer. What do I set the percentage/wattage of the DC pump on? And why at a certain percentage?
And how do I adjust the wattage in conjunction with the pipe that you rotate to adjust the water level in the skimmer? What exactly are you doing when you up the wattage of the dc pump vs. adjusting the wedge pipe. |

I was able to remove the pinwheel without removing the shaft. (i miked the distance from magnet to the impeller for proper placement) then switched the front and rear bearings. The front one had some wear, so after switching them and the o-rings, i re-assembled it and no more noise and vibrations. thanks for those quick responses. heres some quick pictures. (wasn't sure if you would want to see them. )
