I have a Berlin, and it does the job well. In fact, my Berlin is about
8 years old and was inherited with my tank ...

It definitely skims a lot of protein, and due to the age I have
occassional problems (leaking, etc.) that I just patch up and it's
good to go.

nah go with euroreef, IF you already have the berlin turbo there are some DIY mods you can
do that will make it better, but otherwise save your .01 and buy a good skimmer

I dont own any with the moonlights, but otherwise id go for it.

nothing is ever big enough:) but a 70 is a good size.

Thanks Joe for the reply. It seems there are a lot of conflicting
information regarding skimmers. One thing though, the LFS suggested that as
long as the skimmer is pulling a lot of protein out then it is doing it's
job. The success of the tank will dictate the performance of it.

Thanks........
