[ljj]

hello all, would this be a good choice for a 200 gal tank?
the cp 10
http://www.aquadirect.com/store/customer/product.php?productid=481&cat=205&page=1 used with a sweetwater SL14
& (2) sweetwater fine pore diffusers AS150

or will a tetratec dw9622 pump be suffice.

thanks for the info but i am only interested in air driven skimmers.
the reason i picked the cpr is it's basically the only one left thats
commercially available.i suck at building anything!!

If you looking good air pump for air driven skimmer, try one of Aqua Medic Mistral diaphragm air pump.

Well that sounds like it might be big enough to be effective as a air driven skimmer w/ the aquaticeco stones. I would go w/ the sweetwater rather then the tetra, and hopefully those stones will serve you well. Make sure you let us know how it goes! Also check out this thread about a similar sized skimmer converted to aquaticeco stones, and it is worth reading the whole thing, they talk quite a bit about different size stones and pumps, and stone orientation. http://www.reeffrontiers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7906&highlight=redeyereef

If you havn't seen the one we finished last night check this out too. http://www.reeffrontiers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=10217&pp=40

On the stones and air pump its always best to shoot aquatic ecosystems and just asked them if they match up.
