[PrettyBoy]

hey guys,i have a crapy berlin skimmer which is pointless to have i was wondering if anyone was selling theirs or knows where i can get one that is not that expensive and will do good in my 55 gallon,i need a skimmer that will hang from the back of my tank i dont want to spend much so somewhere around 100 bucks or less would be good, thanks

if you dont wanna spend alot, then get a cpr back pak, 2R , ebay has them for like 50 buks.
or get a remora...but thats a bit more money

It looks like it comes with their own brand of pump because of the needle wheel feature.
