I run an old school SWC 300 skimmer with a 12 diameter. It has a 10" bubble plate. I ran it with two old school PSK2500's and one PSK1000 skimmer pump. I'd like to convert it from the three pumps, over to one pump. I can't seem to find one that would work well for that size skimmer. I'd like to pull somewhere around 3000 L/H air. I checked out the bubble blaster pumps, but they jump from 2100 L/H to 4000 L/H air draw. One seems to small. The other to big.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Peace
