90 gallon display, 55 gallon fuge, megaflow model 3 sump 20 gallons ish. the footprint has to be small, hence the HOB CSS.

So, if i replace the css needle wheel pump with a bubble blaster do you think it will turn my CSS into a beast? the skimmer is 4 yrs old btw.

They have mesh mods for the ASM skimmer pumps Not sure why it wouldn't work for a CSS.

seen the mod, worried though that balance might be an issue. CSS pump has a pretty flimsy porcelin shaft. for the price and IF it can make my
Skimmer keep up to a bubble king wouldnt a bubble blaster pump be a more cost efficient upgrade?
Whats nice is its a HOB skimmer so any pump can be hooked up!

I had a corallife 220 and absolutely hated it. It pulled very little out of the water and it overflowed often. Went to an RPS 2000 Octopus which was an upgrade but it never really skimmed like I wanted. I now have a Bubble King 180 and it is an excellent skimmer and a major upgrade.
