question about berlin turbo skimmers

i was comparing them, and theres not much difference in this skimmer except for the needle wheel to produce mor bubbles....now i have upgrated mine, i put different wheel in mine cost 17 bucks at pets n you, then fred came over and added valves to it, opened the air valves and now it produces the nastiest looking foam, the smelliest lookin foam, and now im wondering if its still not as good as that asm? and now i must clean my skimmer everyday, its crazy amount of dirt.... why i need an asm compared to this berlin im using? any good info on the asm, cost the same as this berlin i have...
 
spoon, did you say that the anemone moved to your overflow and cluged everything. Imagine what if you have BTA that moves alot.
 
you killing me. After reading your reply I get an email that you have a reply and I think is a reply to somebody else between. I get there and there is yours again reply a minute or two again. :)
 
ok, i have been doin some research on skimming, and com e to conclude my skimmer is kickin some serioous a**...i appearently am runnin both dry/wet skimming, and i throw out thick foamy excess watery waste everyday from both my collections cups...its nasty stuff...bet i could use it as shaving cream...and im running 300 gph through the thing so now my question would be, am i removing too much?
 
should i drip some waste from the overflow tube on my skimmer back into the tank? ya know to help put some nutrients back into the water
 
NO DO NOT DO THAT........typically a Berlin needs 750 GPH so you are not runnin too much.
 
, well i thought it was 300gph, its the red sea pump that comes with the skimmer...it could be lots more...i dunno
