| Savio large skimmer with 16" weir. Can do up to 8000gph. I use it for 5000gph without any problem First stage filtration is the basket for the crude stuff. In the removeable cage in the back I remove the useless matting and replace with two layers of fiberglass screen. That gives two layers of 1000micron filtration that are easy to hose off. Not aware of other skimmer that can do that. You can put at least a 3" bulkhead in the back bottom ...maybe 4".
As for the UVs in the savio...I think they are way too low power for pulling serious flow rates. So I do UV with a Zappure unit in the filter pit.
