sorry, gotta disagree with that. The box might have said it's good for a 150g, but I think a 75g would be a realistic limit.

Yes, I know. I used to run a berlin skimmer on my 75. There is no way it would have worked on my current 155g. Really.
I think they are great skimmers, just not great enough for a tank that size.

That's the beauty of this society, you're free to disagree all day long. I have 2 small tangs and 5 chromis, so I think I'm safe saying my tank isn't overloaded. My large Beckett skimmer can pull 2 litres of black gunk in 2 weeks, and I know the berlin can't do that.
But if it works for you, I couldn't be happier. It's good to see someone having success skimming without the need for a large skimmer.
I do need to ask though....if it's good for your tank, why are you selling it? Upgrading?
