The biggest Q is what is your budget for the pump?

I used a QuietOne 2200 on my DIY skimmer...it's really a Sicce pump just an extra housing on it...I did a mesh mod on mine and it works great...my only complaint is it likes to chatter on start up sometimes.

Here is the post on the mesh if you're interested:
