Modifying a Euro Reef RS-80 to be recirculating

[bbyatv]

Has anyone modified an RS-80 to be a recirculating stye skimmer?

 

I am considering drilling 2 additional holes in the side of the skimmer body.

 

I would then have the intake from the existing pump draw water from inside the skimmer.

 

A second pump would then be added that would pump new water into the skimmer.

 

If this has been done, what were the results? Did you get better performance?

 

If you have not done this but are familiar with skimmers, would you expect that I would get better performance?

 

Thanks for any feedback.
