ok it is beckett skimmer.. do you have a Mak4 pump? that should blast it. what brand is the pump that they sent with it? that is way way overkill for a beckett. what you want is about 1200gph on a pressure rated pump. the ones I built I started running of a mag 12, then later switched to a Mak4. I ran mine out of a 33 gal sump also, so only 1/3 of the sump was my skimmer draw area, then I returned the water to the first chamber of the sump. the best bet would be to find friends with spair pumps and get them to let you try out the pumps with it and see what you can find that works.
