Aqua Medic Turbofloter T1000 protein skimmer ??

Does anyone have any experience or advice on this skimmer ? I have heard it can be a pain to adjust or do maintenance. Anyone have one ? I am trying to decide between this and the Red Sea Berlin Classic.
Thanks for any input,
MIKE

I have one and like it. I have been using it for about 4-5 years. It's fairly quiet,and does a decent job at skimming. Any skimmer will take a little while getting used to and set up properly and I have no problems with mine. Bob

Thanks Bob,
Do you know how it compares to the Red Sea Berlin ? They are both priced nearly the same.
Do you think I will hear it running from under cabinet ? I am putting this tank in my home theater so I need it to be very quiet.
Thanks, Mike

Sorry I don't have any experience with the Berlin. The Turbo is very quiet and can't be heard inthe cabinet with the doors closed. Probably one of the quietest powered skimmers out there.

How tall is it and what does it run $ for. I have a skimmer that works well but it is pretty loud.

It is 21" tall and sells for about $150. You also need a Rio 2100 pump which sells for about $35. MIKE
