Berlin Turbo
I sold my old skimmer, and I need a new skimmer (downgrading). I dont want to spend over 200 since this is for a 55g only for right now. I was looking at the berlin turbo since my stand has only 22" of clearence. So the berlin is really one of my only options. Please help! thanks!
P.S. I am also looking at the CSS 65. Is that any better than the Berlin since its less than 100 bucks, I can save some money! |

Whats so bad? This is gonna be a low stocked FOWLR 55g. I dont need a ER or anything like that. Just something that will get the job done.

Can you PM me those pics? But still, nobody has anything to say about the CSS65! I would like to know since everyone loves the CSS skimmers, and they are super cheap. please LMK! I need a skimmer for my tank!!
