Skimmer Question
I am thinking about buying an MR-3 from myreefcreations.com and I didn't see anywhere if you can run that skimmer in sump.
Does anyone know if I can run that skimmer in sump. Also is there a better or cheaper skimmer that is rated for 500 gallons that anyone recommends? |

Well you can run it in sump. But the pressure rated pumps needed to drive that skimmer are external pumps. You can run one on say... A mag pump, but you will never see the skimmer perform to it's full potential.
So that leaves you with a few options such as looking into different skimmers, settling on a lesser pump that will not satisfy your 500 gallon demands, running an external pump with the skimmer in sump or moving the skimmer out of the sump A lot of decisions

So what skimmer could I run that is comparable to this that can be totally submersible?

Do some research on the new ATi Bubblemaster 250, rated up to 500g heavy, 700g normal.
