    Hello, I stumbled upon this site and think its great. I have a question I have a 150 gal reef tank set up for a year now and I am currently using a kent marine skimmer which seems to do allright but my tank still has floaters in it so I purschased a turbofloater 1000 with a rio 2100 and a cap 1800 feeding it instead of the overflow method. I really want to know if anybody has heard or knows which skimmer is better ? which skimmer should stay in my sump. I am also installing this weekend a dolphin amp master 3000 and ditching the bio balls in favor of a plenum system or should I just do the berlin method? I have about 240 lbs of live and 150 lbs of sand. Which do you think would be a better method. Thanks for all your input guys.

    [glow=Green, 3, 100%]Hey johnny,

    I am the "proud" owner of a "Turbofloater 1000 multi" and consider it the best skimmer I have every owned. They can be a little "touchy" to set up (though this is the exception rather than the rule), but once "dialed-in" they are hands down the best you can buy at that price range. Here's a link to our "Product Review" forum where you will find some more interesting info:

    [glow=Maroon, 3, 100%]I hope this helps you. IMO, you can't go wrong with an Aquamedic.[/glow]
