Oh this isn't flow for a tank. It's just feed pumps for my massive skimmer

i'm not very familiar with them but don't those pumps need to be needle wheel impeller equipped or does it have a separate air injection system

its a beckett skimmer. doesnt need a needle wheel.

its got some twisted diffusers that mix air and water that give it 100% efficiency
