remora mod

Ok, I just bought a rio 85 GPH pump to add to my remora...I plan to do the mesh/mod on the impeller and see what it does as a recirc pump on my stock remora.

I think i'll be the ****...I often see big bubbles bursting on the collection cup top. This mod will chop those bubbles to a fine column and add contact time too, without over powering the collection cup...I hope!

Whatyathink??????????

it may work but, i doubt it. the remora works on spray injection. modding the rio will reduce the pressure required for the remora to work.

If I understand it correctly I don't think he talking about modding the supply pump, but drilling the skimmer body and adding a recirculating mesh modded pump. I am also interested how this worked.
