After I read a bunch of posts around the web that were critical of the Red Sea Berlin skimmer's capabilities, I strapped a Gen-X 2400NW to mine in hopes of getting some performance out of it before eventually upgrading. I emptied the cup on mine today:

If you ever see someone dumping one cheap, it might be worth picking up (I got mine for $25); fed by a needlewheel pump, it works pretty darn well -- Nice dry foam and Guinness skimmate. I think I'll be keeping it around for a while.
