My only point was that if you already have the pump, why buy anything else? This is one of the easiest DIYs and it costs almost nothing to do. I guess it would be nice to have a backup impeller in case you don't like using mesh but I doubt that highly. Most of the skimmer companies are putting out mesh stock or will be shortly. I've heard that BK is working on a titanium mesh for their RD pumps.

The stock Sedra 5000 goes from around 9lpm to around 15lpm with the mesh mod! That's a great performance boost for $3 worth of material and 5 minutes of time.
