It's an older video the pumps are airstar 3000 3 per skimmer, based on Laguna 4200's

They are as tall as I am. The cup must weigh 50lbs full.

Based on the soda can comparison, it looks like the cup would hold about a case (24 pack) of soda.

How are they fed? The intakes on the pumps are connected to a common pipe....are they "force fed"?

How would you force feed an internal skimmer? Those have to be the biggest internal skimmers I've ever seen. I've seen skimmers literally the size of v-dub bus standing up but they were external. I know the shark reef in Vegas ( garbage btw) uses one.

Edit....Never mind, it looked different on my phone. They have the one above as recirculating and the feed line I though was fully feeding it.
