RedSea Berlin XL Skimmer !?!?!?

[tman1989]

Hey guys! I found this crazy old skimmer on Ebay and purchased one just mainly because I wanted to try it out and because I like to tinker with sutff. I'm not out much $$$ if it's not worth a darn. Does any one have any experience with this thing or know what size pump it will need to run correctly? It's a venturi skimmer so I do know that It will need a decently strong pump.

Not an airstone berlin?

I had an Mj 1200 in tank with TLF ball valve between the pump and skimmer. I use limestone and changed frequently. Those counter current airstone skimmers work very well. My first skimmer 30 years ago was similar to that, but air stone.

What gph do they recommend pushing tgrough that?

This is a Venturi Berlin skimmer. I’m not sure on the GPH for the pump. I was hoping that some one might know what pump to use???
