The Lifereef Berlin Systems were one of the first true and complete systems to be introduced the hobbyist. When others were converting their wet/drys to "berlin systems" we introduced a complete ready-to-go system, and that was back in 1994. This system is the same one being built today, that is how well it was designed, and continues to function: Quiet, Efficient, Versatile Sump Design, Superb (and quiet protein skimmer) and Low Maintenance.

Want a refugium too? A LifeReefugium can be added to any of the Lifereef Berlin Systems to bring the benefits of a refugium to your aquarium filtration.

Don't forget to read the many customer Testimonials.
