Marc, gotta disagree with ya. I'm running a MAK 4 on mine as an upgrade from a MAG 18, and it's STILL not enough. I put an Iwaki 70 on it and it worked much better. When it ran the MAG, it only filled half the chamber with bubbles. When you get into large skimmers (as you well know), bigger pumps are better. Your's was what? a 1/2hp spa pump?

While a MAG 18 will work, it won't work nearly as well as a pressure rated pump, IME, IMO, IMM, etc
