you know there is such a thing as Over skimming. You could rob your coral of nutrients and have a huge loss of coral.

IMO, I don't think it's gonna work. This kind of skimmer needs pressurized pump...which means the pump that needs lots of pressure to push. Needlewheel pump is not gonna work in this case. Even Sedra 9000 is not going to cut it.

i still have a main pump on it. the sedra is a recirculating pump only. still has high pressure.
