Massive sub pumps or cut into return line for skimmer?

Mind you my skimmer is huge too. With 3800gph, it should be cake. The only thing is you should look for a backup pump in case anything fails. I have the exact same backup pump cause one pump literally runs everything on my tank. So if your pump dies, you're hooped without a quick replacement.

He could use the current return pump as the back up. He's using a huge spa pump for a return right now.
