im looking to use some extra parts around the house to make this
i have 6"x18" clear tube
i want to make this a Recirculating Skimmer and capture the water form the overflow box ..
the input will be on the top and the output on the bottem with a gatevalve for the tuning
for the pumps i was thinking 3or 4 maxijet 1200 with the meshwheel mod and venturi on the pump


am i missing anything or do you think the pumps are a bit too small ...

i havent started anything but drawing it out yet
