Red Sea Skimmer

Does anyone have any experience with the Red Sea Berlin Tubo skimmer, good or bad. Waiting for my new 120 RR tank to arrive and trying to find a skimmer that works well but doesn't cost as much or more than the tank.

I used one for several years. It was a decent skimmer but I've heard the turbofloater is a little better for about the same cost. Also you can check with Pete, I believe one of his smaller skimmers runs around the same cost as a new berlin.

I PMed Pete asked him about his skimmers, but he didn't seem interested so I started looking elsewhere. Kind of figured maybe he had a deal with some of the LFS that he didn't want to screw up. Couldn't blame him. I'll check out the ?TurboFlotors and PM Pete again. thanks

Aqua C Urchin Pro Skimmer with a mag 3 pump should be perfect and Richard at CB pets sells them for the same price as the internet.

If you are talking about the XL Turbo berlin I have one but the only thing I would suggest is do not get the pump that they suggest. Replace the pump with something about 1000 gph and put a becket or venturi valve. I get about a 1/2 of dark skimmate everyday on my 100 gallon tank. I have never run a Aqua C or the other but I hear good things from people.
