    i have a skimmer body sitting here i got from troy a while back, but i'm unsure of what pump to run with it.  it looks like a coralife Super Skimmer 200 but says its a pro clear aquatic.  it has a high input for the pump.  i'll attach a pic to help describe it.  can i just just any needle wheel on it?  like a sedra 3500 or something?

    Try a Sieo Hobby pump. i have one attached to a Sump skimmer (SR3 Protein Skimmer for Oceanic BioCube) and it works flawlessly...just an idea. Petsoultions has a pretty good deal on them right now.

    I have an Air Driven Pump for an Oceanic tank.(only a 30-40 gal skimmer but you can mod that with a bigger air pimp) 8oz. collection cup.. would that be big enough for what you need?

    What does the body look like on it? Can you find a link on the net? I am not wanting it for a skimmer just looking for a clear cylinder
