Hi guys

Anyone have any experience with the RedSea Berlin range of skimmers...recommended by the LFS.

Hoping that the Classic would do my planned 150G FOWLR.

cheers

I have the Kent Nautilus. I like it, but think that a My Reef would have been a better choice. Protein Skimmer and lights are going to be your 2 largest investments, and both are VERY important to the success of your hobby. I would skip the Berlin and get a more powerful skimmer.

I agree

The Berlin is a decent skimmer but no longer at the top of the heap. A protein skimmer is the most important piece of equipment you will buy IMO. I am running a "My reef creation" on my 110 FOWLR and could not be happier

I just bought an Aqua C EV 180 with a MAG 7 for my 150, Works well in fact it is so efficient that it has periods when their is nothing to remove.

The AquaC EV Series are very nice skimmers, it would seem to me that a MAG 7 would be a little weak for an EV 180 though.

Another choice is the MR models from My Reef Creations which utilize a beckett style injector. I use an MR-1 powered by a MAG 18 and am very pleased with it.
