pics of sump/filtration

Doh, I see that in your sig now. Is that the only modification you have on the skimmer?

 

Hey that all looks GREAT
I am jealous....only have room to set up my 60 gallon....

Thanks for posting the pic of the Berlin skimmer, as that is what I have from before....and am planning to use again...the LFS that sold it to me some years ago told me that its crap and I should buy a new skimmer >
NOT buying a new one...I will upgrade the pump....and now with confidence...yours looks disgusting ;D.....that's a good thing.! The tank is absolutely beatiful.....

 

thanks guys, the only other mod i have made is putting a larger diameter air hose on the venturi. I cut a small piece of the reg hose that came with the skimmer(about 3/8 of an inch) and placed it over the venturi nipple because the larger hose doesn't fit snug. other than that it's stock except for the pump(and i stress that if you have a berlin go for the bigger pump don't use the berlin pump upgrade, get a surge 6000 or something that pumps about the same,(970 gph).

 

by the way, i did take the existing out put nipples off and change them out with loc line(that flexible return that comes with aga drilled tanks) but i only did that last night so i don't know if it will have an effect one way or the other, i can direct the out flow now and i can scoot the skimmer a little closer to the wet dri box(sometimes that extra inch can mean a lot) here is a pic of my pagoda coral.grew from about 5 inches across to 8 inches and polyps cover the the entire piece.

 

Thanks for the info on the skimmer ;D
That coral is most righteous , dude 8) [smiley=afro.gif] [smiley=smoking.gif] [smiley=thumbs_up.gif]

That's one to remember, people are always wanting to trick that skimmer out. Seems to be the same probs with the pump and venturi. The skimmer itself is a nice design. Your fix is easy. Thanks man!

 

All I can say is WOW! Beautiful reef set up!
