    I bought a used Berlin Venturi Skimmer as my first skimmer on my first salt tank. Well after messing with it for a month and finding out it's missing a piece that I can't find to buy anywhere I bit the bullet and forked out the cash for a brand new skimmer.

    Just ordered an AquaC EV-120 for my 46 bowfront. Any details I should know about it when I go to throw it in the sump or are they pretty self explanitory? I have a RIO 2500 pump that is around 700GPH will it be enough?

    I have heard they are good skimmer as a few members on here have them. I run a Bullet 3 and love it, couldn't ask for better water quality from it. Just search for EV and you will come up with all kinds of stuff to research here on 3reef.

    aquaC makes very good quality skimmers. I have an AquaC Remora and love it. They are very easy to use.

    Great skimmer! I have the EV 180 and I love it. Do read the instructions before you install it and plug it in. Luna
