Can you guys comment on Red Sea Berlin Airlift 90

Airlift 90.....75g..... Nope,

Red Sea is famous for astronomically over rating there products. The Airlifts are good for Nanos 5-15g and thats about it.

The skimmer itself worked well on my 12g nanocube, but is effected alot by water level.

If you're tank doesn't have a sump your better off looking at the Hang on skimmers;
Deltec MCE's
Coral life
Remora

If you really want an internal look at the Tunze models ie: Tunze DOC 9005

Red Sea's from my experience don't make a skimmer capable of skimming a 75g even though their berlins are rated for like 500g.

JPD,

this will be going into a 25g sump.

will this work or no?

No thats even more of a reason not to use it, that means your total volume of water is around 90g. I mentioned the sump because most people that are looking at the Airlift are those that want it to sit inside their display. If you have a sump there is a lot more better alternative of skimmer.
