Pressure pumps are radial flow pumps. Water comes in the middle and then 'radiates' outward to the discharge section via inertia created when the vanes spin the water.
Circulation pumps are axial flow pumps. Water travels into the pumps axis and is accelerated by the impeller blades.
The types of vanes on axial and radial impellers are completely different.

I am back here and there. Healing is going good just way too slow. Didn't realize how heavy my head is with lack of muscles. They are coming back tho cause 2 qts of water 2x a day for tank top off is getting easier lol.

Thanks Keith , whew !!!,.... The way I look at it ,..if you've spent as much time as you have (and myself) looking at these skimmers and actually put them into the cart etc,...then just go ahead and order the #*^# thing ,..you're going to do it anyway and it's only going to help the corals in the long run,... I won't tell the mrs. ...... I really like your skimmer btw..... It'll be interesting to compare performances down the line :-/

This Hydor 2500 has been on line for a week now. Best skimmer I have ever had.

I really never had a doubt after seeing it,... I never realized how unreliable a skimmer could be until I owned the red sea 1800 and on the other hand my bubble magus 180 ex has Been a "set it and forget it " skimmer and has run flawlessly ,. Hopefully my new mrc mr- 2r will be as good as the reviews say,...hopefully, all the parts and pieces will be here this week and we can get started.
