Help with protein skimmers

[jessica54]

Im doing what everyone says to do and shopping around for a good protein skimmer. I found this site called marine depot.com and they have a berlin for a 90 gal for a really likable price. (Ive heard thats a good brand?) does anyone know any reputable sites to order equipment from? has anyone ordered from ***********? are berlins really a good brand?

oh whoops I didnt know that. well anyone can just email me directly if they want JessicaJohnson54@yahoo.com I'm really hoping to spend under 100

in sump or hang on?? The berlin is not very good, especially for a 90 gallon.

welcome to the board
if possible open up to spending a little more to get the best product that you can. this way you wont have to buy another one later on

i definitely agree with spending more now then later, i bought a sea clone 100 when i started my tank, what can i say...it was cheap , but it did not work well at all, i bought the Aqua c remora pro with the mag 3 pump, it cost about $190 on a certain popular auction site ;], it works great and pulls a lot from the water, you will be a lot happier if you don't skimp out, oh yea it is a HOB skimmer as well. hope that helps!
