I don't now were to start I have a 120rr half full of water with 130lbs. of what used to be live rock and Iwaki MD 100rlt with a Powerpro2 skimmer what I think I need to do is T off to my corner overflows from my pump to my tank but because this pump is so strong I also want it to run my skimmer but how?:confused: My skimmer also has two in and two out.:confused: If anybody can come by and help that would be awsome thanks.I'm on my way to AquaAddicts for a couple of bulkheads i'll be back i'm not ignoring you.
PS. lots of pizza and beer.:)
 
Do you have to have the main return pump run the skimmer too?
I wouldn't, but that's my preference.
 
Is your Iwaki located in the basement? If it's under the tank it may be noisy.

I tried the Iwaki 70 on my 120 and the tank sounded like a dishwasher running! Sold it off and bought a MAG12 and dropped it in the sump.
 
I went up to AquaAddicts they did not like the sound of my plan so i'm giong with submersible pumps for know just to get this up and running
