Ah,

I see, I'm not familiar with that skimmer. I own a Berlin but it's the airlift. And I also own a Deltec which is venturi based....

needlewheels are pretty good... check out the Coralife Superskimmer 65. Ive heard pretty good stuff about that one and it is affordable.

Becketts are very efficient too... they are usually rated for large tanks.
