Sure dump the Berlin for something bigger and "better"

are you sure that you broke your skimmer accidentally [smiley=devil1.gif] LOL Just kidding. [smiley=hehe.gif]I am happy with my Berlin but it is the only skimmer I have owned so I don't have anything to compare it to. John

Gosh, that sounds familiar....hmmmm

Well, I did not break it on purpose!

I like the berlin, don't get me wrong...but the hubby has been looking at bigger tanks for 'someday' and I am planning with the future in mind...

I ordered the AquaC EV 120 from Captive Reefs (he had it in stock...) so I will let you all know how it compares.

It seems to me that you get good skimmate from your other thread...

The turbo berlin has the needle wheel pump, right? That may make a difference too. Mine did not have that.

Hi Birdlady I Just had to say that about dumping the Berlin as you just said the same thing to Da_Colts and I knew you would find the statement familiar

The Berlin turbo uses a 12 blade TurboJet impeller air infusion system. I guess it is the same principal as a needle wheel system but I am not that UP on my skimmer lingo or knowledge so I am only guessing.

There are so many types and brands of skimmers on the market now, It would be very difficult to happen upon a good one without a forum like this to get experienced information on the subject.
So how big of a tank are you thinking about going to?

I would like to go to at least a 125 my self

I like those big ass cherry wood beasts! At least 125 yeah, haven't really specked out a size yet.

Something with built in overflows for sure!

fletch · 12-29-2004, 05:23 AM

Isn't that terrible I only had my 75 for 10 months and I already want to get a bigger tank

, See that even men do agree size does matter [smiley=hehe.gif]

Birdlady · 12-29-2004, 05:34 AM

LOL!!!!! I had this tank set up for a few years before. I have only just put it back up in Sept.! Should have just gone for that bigger tank! (but oy, the cost of lights for a big tank these days!!)

fletch · 12-29-2004, 05:48 AM

I Know what you mean But maybe I can use my new light on a 125 If I center it on the tank ( listen to me ) I haven't even got it set up on my 75 yet ( Waiting for the hanging brackets ) They were lost in the mail ( Yah Right )

I think they lost my order
