Skimmer pump upgrade to more gph
MRC OF200 skimmer, wondering if I go with Sicce PSK2500, would this be ok?
Original pump was rated @ 430gph, the Sicce is rated at 660gph.

Is it one of the beckett models? I have crappy internet atm so I don't want to go digging around for it but...
If yes its a beckett driven skimmer you need to see what the gph @ 12foot of head is. The higher the better. If its a pin wheel pump then it would probably be fine. What is the neck and body dimensions of the MRC.

It's a Pin Wheel pump, Body Diameter is 8"
Here's a link to a short description: http://www.atlantareefclub.org/forum...ad.php?t=19918 BeefRuilders website has a page about them also, but RC doesn't allow the link. I don't think MRC makes these anymore. But for my sump dimensions (really limited space), it will fit perfectly. I purchased it a month or so ago, brand new in the manufactures sealed box for cheap. Unfortunately, I broke the pumps ceramic shaft when I dropped it...
