I'm looking at a percisionmarine bullet 1 or euroreef rs135 I hear great things about both anyone have experionce with either ?

I'd pick the euroreef over the PM skimmer for several reasons..... but the biggest reason is cost to operate the ER, quality, and IMO just a better skimmer....If I was going to go with a beckett skimmer, PM wouldn't be my top choice....why not look at MRC or Austin Aquatics before I'd choose the PM line......JMO

I have the ER RS-100 on my 65 and love it. Very well built and excellent skimming!

I would go with the ER too. Nothing wrong with the PM but it requires a mag drive 12 or equivalent which draws nearly 3x time power consumption.

I agree the needlewheel over the beckett....even though they say a Mag....the bottom line is; it isn't a pressure pump which is needed to drive a beckett correctly.
