The Berlin X2 is the latest evolution of the popular Berlin range of
skimmers, used by thousands of satisfied aquarists around the world since 1993.
The X2 offers a 50% increase in skimming performance over the old model, while
preserving its predecessor’s small footprint and compact dimensions. |

| As part of the X2 development program, Red Sea has established new criteria and
standards for the way its protein skimmers are rated. Both models come with an
easy ratings guide reflecting required skimming performance rather than simply
converting pump flow rates into suggested aquarium volume. |

FoamView™ collection cup
Patented window built into the side of the collection cup allows for accurate,
real-time evaluation of foam production. |
|
|
 |
Hang-on kit included
All Berlin X2 models include a hang-on kit as standard, enabling the in-sump
configuration to be converted quickly and easily for hang-on aquarium setups.

Red Sea's patented Triple-Pass™ maximizes the water-air contact time inside the
skimmer reaction chamber, stripping the aquarium water of even the smallest
traces of organic pollutants, while minimizing the external dimensions and
footprint of the skimmer.
By forcing the water-air mixture along a circuitous route, the Berlin X2
achieves a total surface area equal to that of much larger conventional
skimmers.
-
Highly efficient skimming action
-
Removes even the smallest traces of organic pollutants from aquarium water
-
Super compact design
-
Minimal loss of seawater

Tests have shown that over time the Berlin X2 is extremely effective in
lowering the level of oxygen-consuming pollutants (COD/BOD) in the aquarium
water.The graph shows the inverse relationship between the level of water-borne
pollutants and the Redox (reduction oxidation potential) level
