Berlin skimmer

Rayzzfish · 07/20/2020, 09:57 AM

Been out of reefing for a couple years. I have a 90 gallon aquarium and my old sump. I also have my old Berlin skimmer. I was wondering if I need to change skimmers or keep it. I remember when it did run it was good. Any comments would be nice..

That ol'school Berlin skimmer will work just fine!
I tried a new style needle wheel skimmer on this build. never seems to work the way I wanted it to. Seems like any little thing would throw it out of adjustment. Plus I couldn't run Ozone with it.
I picked up a LifeReef Berlin style like I had before, it's working great, I never touch it.
There's a LifeReef Skimmer thread here on RC.
