Turboflotor 1000???

[sanangelofish2]

Does anyone have this skimmer run with a pump to pump the water in to the skimmer instead of letting the water run from the overflow in to it? Hope that makes sense any one that has one that goes in the sump will know what i am talking about.
Thanks for the help

We have a Turbofloater 1000 hooked up in the way you are describing in the sump for our 175... seems to work fine.

I use a Maxi-Jet 1200 powerhead to feed water to the skimmer. It is a bit powerful and I plumbed in a small cpvc ball valve to control the flow. I have read other posts that suggest that the Maxi-Jet 900 is a better flow match up. I really feel that this is the better way to do this. No risk of obstructing the overflow and causing a flood.
BTW, my Turboflotor works Great!
Good Luck,
