    Wa thanks for the offer man.

    I think its called Red Sea Berlin because the company that made the skimmer is called "Red Sea" and the Berlin is the model, named after the type of Marine setup.

    honestly speaking,
    me using a ORCA for my 4ft tank.. and it is working just fine.. total cost with pump = $50-60... but the problem with it is that it have to be inside the tank.. the same goes for macro...
    well.. me go for those cheap and good items.. and as long as it does the job, it is fine for me...
    if u are interested in those hangon type of protein skimmer, do consider tunze or berlin.. yes.. berlin is ex.. but it is worth the $$$...

    I need one that's outside the tank for two reasons
    1. The skimmer cup cannot be taken out if I put it in the tank because its on the lower level of a 2-tier 4ft tank. Not enough headroom to take it out
    2. Don't like to put stuff in my tank leh

    I am considering the Red Sea Prizm Hang on skimmer
