    Im trying to make a skimmer that somewhat resembles a deltec apf600 protein skimmer. My skimmer right now is pretty small, and i dont have room in my sump for a bigger one, so I'm making this skimmer as an out of sump one (recurculating). So far I have the acrylic body (cone shaped). I'm thinking about using the same sedra pump the asm mini g skimmer has, but im having a hard time trying to figure out how big the feed pump should be. The base of the body's diameter is 4in. Any ideas?

    you need a pump that will do about 211gph i would look into the bubble blaster HY-2000 im sure that would more then do the job.
