This is a MUST HAVE modification for anyone with a higher end skimmer with a needle wheel type pump.

I just recently took apart my Sedra pump on my Euro Reef 8-3 skimmer and modded the needle wheel with the Enkamat #4 material. I am sure some of you know what I am talking about. I cut of all of the "pins" off the needle wheel and then modified the wheel a little further to accept three layers of the Enkamat.

I was already very happy with the skimmer performance; however, I cannot believe this is the same skimmer now!! WOW! I had to lower the level in the skimmer so it would not fill up with crap so quickly! I can get a full cup of crud in two days from this bad boy.

I HIGHLY recommend that you try this with your skimmer if possible. Feel free to PM me for some pointers of doing this in under 30 mins with only a couple of tools.

Cheers!!
