Why should I buy a Royal Exclusiv^® protein skimmer?

Royal Exclusiv^®—and particularly the Bubble King^® line of skimmers—is widely regarded within the marine aquarium hobby as one of the very best skimmers available anywhere. Here are the key reasons:

Quality and Craftsmanship

Royal Exclusiv^® is a German company based in the Cologne area that has been manufacturing protein skimmers in Germany since 1986. Their units are precision-milled from high-quality acrylic glass; while others may skimp on materials, RE goes the extra mile—the result is components that are extremely precise, durable, and manufactured to tight tolerances. This represents "Made in Germany" at its very highest level, featuring a superior selection of materials ranging from piping by Georg Fischer and Plexiglas^® by Polyavantis to PVC sheets by Simona.

In-House Developed Pumps

The heart of every Bubble King^® skimmer is its proprietary Red Dragon^® pump (formerly AC-powered, now DC-powered and fully controllable). Royal Exclusiv^® develops and manufactures these pumps entirely in-house—they are not outsourced OEM components. This gives them complete control over performance, quiet operation, and longevity.

High Performance with Very Low Power Consumption

Enormously energy-efficient (high operational efficiency)—meaning it saves electricity while remaining absolutely powerful. This is a crucial factor, as a protein skimmer in a marine aquarium needs to run 24/7.

Extremely Quiet Operation

For many users, this is the deciding factor: Compared to other high-performance skimmers, Bubble Kings are exceptionally quiet—making them perfectly suitable even for use in a living room.

Skimming Performance

The size and uniformity of the bubbles are of the highest caliber. Smaller, more uniform bubbles provide a greater surface area for protein adhesion—this is the fundamental principle behind an effective protein skimmer, and Royal Exclusiv^® has pushed the technical execution of this concept to an advanced level.

Model Variety

From small tanks to massive display aquariums, there is a suitable model for every need:

Series	Target Audience	Application / Key Feature
Mini Bubble King	Small to medium-sized tanks	Particularly space-saving thanks to an internal pump.
Bubble King^® Double Cone	Medium to large tanks	Ideal for gentle and dry skimming—perfect, especially for coral-heavy tanks.
Bubble King^® Super Marin	Large tanks / high stocking density	The "heavy hitter"—built to handle massive fish populations and the resulting high waste loads. Ideal for wet skimming.
Bubble King^® DeLuxe	Professional Applications	Our flagship model, built for the experienced aquarist. In addition to adjustment via the wedge pipe, it features another clever refinement: the telescopic pipe. This allows the collection cup assembly to be flooded—and thus cleaned or rinsed—in a matter of seconds.

CONCLUSION

Royal Exclusiv^® isn't for everyone—but perhaps for more aquarists than they might think.

Anyone who runs a saltwater tank or marine aquarium—and has ever worked with an average protein skimmer—is familiar with the situation: constantly readjusting, observing, and readjusting again—all while remaining uncertain whether water quality is truly staying at a consistently high level. Eventually, you have to ask yourself: does the money you thought you saved at the start actually end up costing you more effort and compromise in the long run?

This is exactly where a Bubble King^® comes in. It was designed to operate reliably and consistently—quietly, efficiently, and without the need for constant tinkering. Instead of having to regularly fuss with your equipment, you can focus on what truly matters: the reef and its inhabitants.
