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

HOW MUCH DOES A FISH’S FEEDING REQUIREMENTS AFFECT YOUR STOCKING DECISIONS?

  • A lot! - I avoid fish that require frequent or specialized feeding

  • Quite a bit, but an automatic feeder can change my answer

  • It depends on whether my nutrient export can handle it

  • It depends on how badly I want the fish

  • Not much. I’m willing to adjust my routine

  • Not at all. Feeding demands don’t limit my stocking choices

  • I usually learn about the demanding feeding schedule after buying the fish!
