Use an external.

Blueline pumps are much nicer the pcx ones, but both work well.

what size you don't think a mak 5 would work, what about those genx 18000 4750 flow or use a pressure rated pump

hammerhead
 
why not use a hammerhead? it is more efficient watt for watt and in addition to the skimmer, you can use it for other functions such as your return pump.
i believe there are a couple for sale.......

Hammerhead is too big for that skimmer, but it can be throttled back.

Hammerhead uses about 375 watts, but two pcx40 would use about 230 watts and run it just fine.

A Dart is likely too small, but their middle pump that uses 280 watts or so would work well.

I think you are reffering to the Barracuda?

u think that i mak 5 would be able to run that Skimmer. Or I was talking to super fudge and he has a sequnece 5800 and he had his pump running his quad skimmer. Lando has a panworld 200 running his recirculating

This is what I thought might be the barracuda.
