mr_alberta, I couldn't speak for the pumps you are refering to, but I can say the downdraft skimmers are superior. The beckett needs good water flow to produce good foam.

They no longer do shark feeding dives in Florida because it is illegal. Has anyone else done Hammerhead dives at Cocos Islands in Costa Rica? Mucho Hammerheads!
