Pump size for Berlin Skimmer

[usefulidiot213]

I just picked up a Berlin Skimmer Rated for a tank up to 225 gal, but I need a pump... Anybody know what size pump I need to runner the skimmer? Or what GPH rating I need for this Skimmer to work...?

I've driven them with a Rio 2100, Mag 7, and Mag 9.5. The Mag 9.5 worked best.
Oh, and IMO the manufacturer rating on these things is ... to say the least... generous.

Have a 100 Gal... Think the Skimmer will handle that ok...?

Well... maybe.
The trick with these skimmers is to keep them very clean. They are very difficult to clean though as they cannot be taken completely apart.
