Lifereef Berlin system alternative ?

moneymm · 11/21/2014, 06:32 AM

Well I stupidly priced out a Compact Berlin sump system from lifereef.. It seems perfect for me, well aside from the price.

Is there another company selling all in one systems like this for alil cheaper?

Or is there any where selling used ones? I searched but came up empty.

save up instead of seeking cheaper alternative. Trust me. Been there done that. Lifereef is worth every dollar.

I know your prob right, but i am on my first tank and its a 45 gallon, i feel like my next tank is gonna be 100+ gallons, although it may be a few years down the road, i dont want to get one of these lifereef investments for only a couple years potentially.

plus i have the money, but if i go spend 1200 plus more on this hobby my wife may throw it out the window.

let me tell you of a story of me. i once penny pinched through this hobby. never satisfied. the junk i spent money on could have bought two lifereef system.

i went through aquamaxx skimmer, reef octopus new and used, vertex, euro

add all the money i spent on those junk and i can't even compare to how awesome the lifereef skimmer is.
