Hey SCSInet, what are you pushing your Berlin XL with?
*shrugs sheepishly* I must admit, albeit a bit embarassed, that I am pushing them with Rios.
I got them cheap and didn't want to use them for anything else, so I stuck one on each of them. I'm also not using the XL version, I'm using a normal one. I am building induction skimmers these days that work better than the commercial Berlins, so I was planning to build a couple more and switch everything over. If you know what pumps I can use to make the Berlins work better, I'm all ears. I considered it before, using maybe mags, but it's cheaper for me to build the induction units than it is to replace the pumps, and the induction units run fine off cheap pumps.
