Lance if the skimmer is 1 beckett i would use a good pressured rated pump with it like a mak 5 something like that.. as long as you have a good size pipe going to the beckett like with mine i had 1" going into the becketts. with a dual pipe so some of the head loss was there too.
i have read that a mak 4 will run a mrc 3 but i would go with a mak 5 pressure now you have a power house , if you ever go to another beckett on that skimmer then yuou don't need to upgrade the pump again ....

You don't know as much as you think.
