Default Red Sea Berlin Skimmer

Des, ditto to the other two posts above.

My Berlin hang-on took a full 24 hours before it started producing a foam. It is also a skimmer I bought used that was two years old at the time but still needed that "break-in" period. Apparently all skimmer are the same.

PS.. I also run mine using a MAG 7, and before that a RIO 2500. I would recommend that if you have the opportunity you should upgrade your pump to a higher gph pump (700-1000) as it will increase the performace of the skimmer. Venturi-based skimmers are notorious for reducing pump output, especialy on smaller or non-pressure rated pumps. (Although the pressure-rated Little Giant pumps are good pumps)
