Default ok now on to pumps

Ok, I am getting close to finnishing the build on my skimmer. I have decided I want to make it a needle wheel pump. Where can I buy just a pump or two that have the needle wheels in them?

I don't know how large a pump you are looking for...but here's a good list. Most all of these are pre-equipped with needle wheel impellers. You could also easily get a needle wheel impeller to match a pump you obtained separately.

I don't know if you've dealt with customaquatic, but they've been good to me. As a Canadian, you have to call to place orders. Website doesn't accept international orders.

neither do I, but lets say the base of the skimmer holds 5 gal, and it has a main chamber out of 8" tube that is 30" tall on top of the box. so I think I need to be able to chew up a lot of bubbles.

ok, just read the sedera's are submersable/external so it can be inline.
