Skimmer Pumps?
Which pump would you guys use on 8" diametar 29" tall reaction chamber and 38" total height skimmer?
I was thinking Gen-X 6000 LHP Pump NEEDLE WHEEL or some kind of moded EIHEM... BK

the gen-x might not be able to handle the head of the skimmer
i know the eheim should get the 1262 bigger intake

I would make it recirculating and use two of the Gen X or Oceanrunner pumps. The needlewheel or pinwheel Eheims are way too expensive. If you go recirc then you can get funky with the power and still feed it small amounts.
You may have other ideas but that is what I would do. Recirc makes it easier to keep the foam stable and requires less attention.

One thing to note...the more air you feed in via the pumps the larger the neck has to be to accommodate that air.

I like the oceanrunners but they are way too large.
I'm now thinking 2 or 3 Quiet one 3000 if I can mesh mod them or somehow do the pinwheel? They are the same as the SICCE pumps and with 3 of them I would still only run 120W.
