Save your money, is your skimmer not preforming the way you'd like right now?
The skimmers are similiar in size though right? Why not make yours a rc model and save some cash if its not up to par for ya?
Good advice Erik! I don't look at anyone's "rated capacity". The Remora PRO is rated for "tanks over 90g". The rating on a Berlin skimmer is 20-200 gals

If the skimmer is 8" tube and 24" high it could be made to perform just as good as any other 8x24" skimmer. Do some reading in the DIY forums on Octo mods and see what you can do yourself to improve performance.
