new pump for reef octopus 150

A

aftershock

hey guys,

the pump to my skimmer has died and i am looking for a replacement pump. due to space in my sump and the cost, i dont want to buy new skimmer.

i first started looking at buying the same pump (Hailea OTP 2000), but havent been able to find a place other than ebay. does anyone know where i can buy a replacement pump?

i have also noticed by googling that some people have used different pumps on their skimmers. i am wondering if anyone has used another model pump, and if so, is it an improvement.

as always, thanks in advanced guys

I'd give them a call. I have the same skimmer & called them with a pump problem last year and they were very helpful. If you do end up buying a new pump, I do believe the NWB 150 has metric fittings. Just an FYI.

This is the pump you want, no question. One of the best pumps on the market, 3 year warranty, super quiet, ultra efficient. And this is the stock pump on the same size new Reef Octopus Super Reef skimmers. Seems pricey but worth every penny, the pump is 90% of the skimmer.

You get that pump and you will essentially have a new one of these:

Which is one of the best skimmers on the market right now.
