What pump is best

[Shanetweedz]

I am going to use one pump for both a dual gfo carbon reactor and a skimmer I am going to split the flow with at t would this be possible and which pump should I use

That is an awful idea. The amount of flow you want to keep something like GFO or other media tumbling is extremely different from that which you want to run a skimmer on. I highly recommend not doing this.

While I don't think that's an awful idea (ideas are rarely awful), I do agree that it's not ideal.

You'd have to find a way to direct significantly more output to one direction and that would be a real pain to be tweak in.

May I ask what's the reason for trying to use just one pump? Space? Cost?

Cost mostly but I decided to go with 2 different ones
