Need pump for Berlin skimmer-Protein Skimmers-3reef Forums

I was wondering if anybody out there knows where I can find a replacement pump for a Berlin Classic skimmer that I picked up used in a package deal with some other stuff (wet/dry,lights,etc.) on craigs list. The skimmer has a venturie can it be simply modified to a Turbo?

You could try some of the sponsor web sights here on 3reef or marine depot or even ebay................ John

Just leave it as it is the Turbo does no better get a Mag 9.5 or a RIO 3300 I ran them for yrs a great pump on a normally loaded 200 gallon tank. The X-L is good also..The spcks call for a rio 2500 or a mag 7 I like to remove the center tube and run a Larger pump make far more smaller bubbles and more surface area and dwell time in te area. Its the 1 in tube right in the center just remove the top and pull it out.. Might need a pair of needle nose pliers if the grit has built up on te bottm baffle.
