Vertex Alpha Protein Skimmers are made in the same German factory as the Bubble King, at a slightly lower cost. These protein skimmers are over-engineered for super high quality just like the Bubble King. You will notice the build quality of this premium product. Near silent operation.

Vertex IN Protein Skimmers are a smaller, good value skimmer from the same company that brings you the Vertex Alpha.

Which skimmer should I buy? A quality protein skimmer is the most essential piece of equipment on your tank if you want to achieve “long term” success. Manufacturers give suggested tank sizes but these are just a general guideline. Rule of thumb is never go lower than their suggestions and bigger is always better. Skimmer selection is really simple, figure out how much you can spend, how much space you have and get the best performing skimmer available that fits inside those two things. You won’t regret it!
