Which protein skimmer?

[mniccum]

I am planning on purchasing a protein skimmer for a 55G tank. I was looking at either the Red Sea Prizm or the Marine Enterprises Big Mombasa. My LFS has a reef tank set-up with a Mombasa and they recommended it, but I have read some poor reviews on this skimmer (inferior pump, poor construction). Could you give me some feedback and suggestions if you use either of these?

In my opinion th prizm is way too small for a 55gal. Dont know about the other one you mentioned but I recommend the Red Sea Berlin turbo or classic.

I'm with Jimi. Berlin works great!

I have one of the new, Berlin turbo's that comes with the pump, although mine dosen't work right because it is leaking by the collection cup where the O-ring is, I know I just got a bad one, and hopefully the company will replace it. I would still recommend the Berlin.
