Massive sub pumps or cut into return line for skimmer?

[Hustler]

well im guessing i dont have enough flow in there.... cuse i have a coralife luft pump (air compressor) air injecting it and its insane how much it blows.
I guess Ill have to do the plumbing again and get 2 big submersible pumps.....
Anyone know of a decent brand?

Why don't you email the manufacturer before you go spending a bunch of money? It can do no harm. That luft pump puts a ton of air out... 2.3 cfm IIRC if you have the SL-65. Or do you have the smaller one? The SL-38 I think it is... Anyway, I wouldn't buy new pumps yet. And what happened anyway? I thought you had a big pump already?
