My monster has just arrive and its limits are a Sequ,5000 now in the past i've had this type befor and pushed it way beyond its limits what kind of mods, can i do to it and how big of a pump can run it.. My last skimmer like this was rated for a iwk,55 but drilled a 3/4in hole next to the gate and plumbed it free flow and put a iwk,100 on it with great resaults. I'm woundering if the same can be done with this and a aqua sea 6300 pushing it
