I have a berlin 250 (i know) skimmer that is the hang on model. I have done some upgrades and it has been working great for me for about the last 3 years. I am currently building my new sump, 125 divided into 3 sections, equipment, fuge and return. I will have plenty of available real estate inside the sump now and was wondering if I could put the skimmer inside the tank. The reason I am wanting to do this is because I left the baffles lower in the sump for ease of working with filter socks and extra room in case of a power outtage. I was wanting to put the skimmer inside the equipment section with the outflow going straight into the fuge section. Will this affect the operation of the skimmer? I can leave it hanging if it will work better this way but if not I would rather use it internally. Any advice?

It will work fine internally.

Awesome guys, thanks for the replies. That will help clean up the salt creep mess with it hanging on the outside of the sump.
