sedra vs. other needle wheel pumps.

[dia_cero2002]

I last posted asking the difference between the g4 and g4+ asm skimmers. I've done some reading and the pump that normally comes with these skimmers is a sedra. However, searching on other forums, the users have said that they do not like the sedra pumps because they do not pull enough air. Does anyone have a suggestion for another brand of skimmer pump, preferably a needle wheel pump or a pump that can be modded to be a needle wheel? Thanks.

it all depends on how much you want to spend...

you might be able to drill a new another air intake too

I have a nautilus te and it came with a sedra. It doesn't have a needle wheel impeller. Is there a way to just buy a needle wheel that fits it so i can mesh it?

yes, just do a search on the sedra model that you have and you'll pull up several different online sites that offer the needle wheel impeller by itself. They also offer the venturi adapter.

i have a nautilus te and i have mesh modded a quietone 4000 and hard plumbed it (i hate tubing). works great.

I have the standard needle wheel Sedra 3500 on my ASM skimmer and love it, works great IMO.

My sedra 9000 will be here any minute. Just waiting on UPS. I may end up doing some mods to it if it doesn't perform up to my expectations.
