Mag 9.5 flow varies dramatically depending on how its plumbed. If it has 3/4" tubing, it should be OK. 1" would be on the high side, larger than 1" would be too much.

Glad you haven't lost siphon yet with your CPR. An Aqualifter helps, and is necessary for it to work, but it doesn't make it reliable. It can still fail and has for many people.

Marine Depot prices
Aqua C Urchin Pro with Mag 3 $227
ER RS 80 $238

For an extra $11, you get a far superior skimmer.

You can get an Octopus NW-150 which is also a far better skimmer for $170
