Thumbs up Swapped Rio w/ Mag on skimmer - WOW

My Rio 2500 skimmer pump bit the dust, so I replaced it with a Mag 7; the Rio put out around 730 gph, so the Mag 7 was the best fit. All I have to say is, WOW. I had to close the venturi needle valve almost totally to get it to slow down or it would overflow the collection cup! I may have to put a valve on the pump discharge to better tune the bubbles, but MAN what a difference!
