skimmer delimea

[scuttlebut]

I have recently completed constructing a skimmer (DIY similar to the Euro Reef), http://www.randystacye.com/diy_needle_wheel_skimmer.htm
and the last item remaining is the pump. This particular skimmer used the Gen-X 2400 needle wheel pump. Should I use this skimmer as a submerged or recirc type skimmer and will the Gen-X 2400 be sufficient? What should I use a s a pump, any recommendations? My tank is going to be a 90 FOWLR.

Hmmm....if it were me, I'd make a recirc skimmer. I'm not sure on the pump size, though. Hopefully, someone else can chime in regarding that. I think going with the same pump as the skimmer you are modeling after would work well.

i would spend some money on the pump and get a nw sedra, or mesh mod a aquabee/eheim, or sicce/ quiet one.
what are the exact dimention of the skimmer body and neck?
