Berlin Method
Could somebody tell me exactly what that means? I know it's a type of filtration, but how is it done?
It is Bare Bottom with a big skimmer?

Re: Berlin Method
Well there is the traditional Berlin method which is bare bottom lots of live rock a skimmer and a fuge. And what most people on here use is the Berlin-Live sand method which is the same as above with a sand bed normal depth or Berlin-DSB which is above with a deep sand bed. In a nutshell.

 Ryan you know I am the only one her that ever really argues with you. You did, however, leave out the part, "with circulation heavy enough to prevent detritus from settling on bottom glass."

Re: Berlin Method
True enough circulation plays a big enough part. I need someone to keep me on my toes!
