I am upgrading to a 125g soon. I am going to need to upgrade my skimmer. I am looking at the Berlin Turbo, and the Coralife. Any opinions? My MAX price is 200. Thanks!
there is another place you can look into I just ordered my sump/refugium plus skimmer from them it will be here next week. My good friend that ownes the LFS here uses only their pumps in his whole store and has not had to replace one yet. http://www.catalinaaquarium.com/
Sometimes you get what you pay for.....And IMO don't think the Coral Life skimmer is up to the job......And again your comparing apples to oranges when putting these skimmers beside each other
i am getting the ASM G3 i will let you know how it works. it will be going in a 55 gallon sump for my 125 and if you want to stay around $250 the ASM G3 is only $259, and from what i hear they are very comparible to the euro reefs!! look into the G3 before you go with a coralife.
i dont know anything about the berlin, i was just reccomending the ASM from what i have heard of them and thought since you were trying to stay around $250 and the ASM being only $259 that maybe you would consider it. i have definately heard more good about ASM than berlin, i was actually told i wanted to stay away from the berlins but to each his own i guess
I have a 3mt old ETS reef devil skimmer in perfect condition for sale for 150.00 if your interested. Its rated for upto 150 gal tank. Let me know...Russ

No offense, but maybe you shouldn't upgrade if you're on that small of a skimmer budget. I mean 250$ isn't that bad for a tank that big. There are cheaper options out there, but like most things there is an element of getting what you pay for. Save your money for the upgrade and buy a bigger skimmer now and upgrade your tank later.

I bought the 200 gal model witht the 1002 skimmer total price was 270 shipped to my door in 3 days I orderd on a tuesday and recieved it on friday night
Again your trying to compare apples to oranges.......
EuroReefs, ASM's, Coralife and what else don't even park in the same lot.....When it comes to skimmers.......Only thing above a Deltec would be a Bubble King
I am running the Nautilus TE on my 90 gallon with a 30 gallons sump.It is rated for 150 gallons. I am very satisfied with the skimmer and you can find it for under 175 with the rio 2100 pump.
