    dont have any experience with that exact model Vincent1

    but have had various other Turboflotor skimmers from Aquamedic
    I have always found them to be well made, quality products, that worked as expected

    I have a Turbo Flotor Multi SL which was used on a 46 and currently on a 55. I am overall happy with it. Due to space constraints I had to get a hang on unit. From talking with people it is a middle of the road skimmer, not the best and not the worst.

    What are you planning on keeping in your tank? I would think the bio load would determine what type of skimmer you go with.

    i'm planning to keep about 16 fish and lps and sps corals
    but i want to have an oversized skimmer , that's al.
    my current skimmer is a deltec ap600.
    but on the website of d&d solutions the ap600 deltec is equiped with an aquabee 2000/1 pump , and mine has an eheim 1250 pump.
    that's a difference of ap. 200g/h.

    kind regards
    vincent
