Berlin Skimmer - which pump?

[jmccown]

Hello all, just purchased a used (but like brand new) Berlin skimmer Turbo, rated for up to 250g tanks. This unit does not have a pump with it. I was wondering what you guys recommend as a good pump for this unit. Don't want to buy a pump that is too big or too small. Also, does the pump have to be a venturi style pump?

What kind of luck have you guys had with your Berlin Skimmers? Mine will be going on a 150g reef. Thanks all.

I ran one with a rio 2100 and a kent marine venturi for over a year and skimmed pretty good until I bought my asm
