How ugly is tht to look at ?
A mag3 in the tank and a smelly/noisy skimmer to look at?

I'd rather use the sump if possible. That way I am not staying awake
at night worrying about a leak/overflow.

Thanks.

sense you dont have room in the sump for the urchin pro, how about the
remora pro w/ mag 3 HOB of your tank?

I have a 72g bow with a small (~6g) sump.
The tank has been neglected for the past year- never really got the
reef going past a couple of mushrooms and polyps.
Looking to revitalize it now as the d i v o r c e finalizes....

I've been thinking about buying an Urchin skimmer (not Pro- don't have
the cabinet clearance) to replace my CPR counter current model.

I've been offered a used Berlin Classic skimmer for $50 (no pump).
This skimmer has a much higher capacity rating (250g) vs the Urchin
(75g).

My thinking (in no particular order) is like so:

*Berlin: Cheap- (good)
higher rated capacity (good)
Need a Mag7 in my sump (bad: noise/power/heat)
Some bad/mediocre reviews (bad)
Somewhat larger footprint (bad)


*Urchin: More expensive (bad)
Pushing rated capacity (bad)
Uses small MaxiJet1200 (good)
Excellent/good reviews (good)
small footprint (good)

Does anyone have a recommendation for me given the above concerns (or
any others)?

TIA.
