Skimmer Pump Upgrade

Wondering what pump to get for my Euro-Reef CS6-2. I am pretty sure it is a Sedra 3500, but no sticker so not 100%. Looking to upgrade, what would my options be?

Rather than upgrading the pump, I would suggest doing a mesh mod on the pump you have.

You will have to get a replacement pump from euro reef or be ready to do a mesh mod on the impeller and retrofit the volute/venturi from your old pump. It is a sedra 3500 btw.

Yeah I am going to do the mesh mod, actually got the enkamat in today. I was just thinking of maybe upgrading to a sedra 5000 or 9000.....

I would stick with the pump that was designed for that skimmer.
