Long story short, I ran a PM Bullet 2 skimmer with a Little Giant pump on a 125 SPS tank back in the day, worked great. That tank is long gone, but I still have most of the equipment from it, including this skimmer and pump.
I'm planning to set up a 75 gallon SPS display tank with another 75 gallon tank in the basement for a sump. Since I already have this skimmer, naturally I'm contemplating using it for this project. But... I figure its just too big for this system and I don't really want to attempt to drill the 75 gallon sump as would be necessary to use a proper pressure rated external pump.
I researched some internal pumps that may be up to the task of driving this skimmer, but I'm starting to think that I may be better off just buying a more appropriately sized skimmer for $300-$400 rather than spending half that on another pump. I'm worried I may never be able to get the Bullet to efficiently skim such a small system and I'll be running a high wattage pump to boot.
I guess I'm just turning to the community to get some thoughts on this. Am I missing a good pump option that is low wattage? I thought about trying a Jebao DCP pump but again, I think I may be best off with something else.
