up-grading skimmer...

[aweeks95]

hey guys.....man i've been al over this site in the last 3 weeks!!! i've been working on getting a 15q reef set-up. a good friend of mine gave me a CPR hang-on skimmer i added to my 10g sump. it seems to work ok but i've heard that you can add an air stone and up grade it to work much better. my question then is, what size pump will i need to use? i know it should be a strong one to push air through the fine wood stone but not sure exactly how strong.

any suggestions would be great. thanks in advance guys!!

I use many air pumps just not for skimming, the Luft pump lasted the longest so far going on 4 years non stop, adjustable air flow and silent...

thanks for the reply....what is the size of the pump you are using? do they cost much? any links for a good price on-line?
