i have a 46bf and currently have a cpr bakpak skimmer running. I was just given a red sea berlin hob rated up to 250gall.
Which would you use???
the cpr is working just fine but a tad noisy and micro bubbles for a day after water changes

I had the same tank setup for about 2 years with a CPR. it worked well for me most of the time. it took a while to break in and stop sending bubbles to my tank.
Cant say about the berlin, never owned one.
Do you have the reef one or the regular one with the bio-bale?

I would leave the Bak Pak. The Red Sea is not that great. Atleast the Bak Paks works ok. I have both skimmers for a frag tank. The bak Pak works better and takes up less room.

The Red Sea's are almost impossible to adjust to get consistent results, and in my experience quite bad on micro-bubbles as well. I would not switch.
