extreme-160.jpgI know this is an old/older skimmer Reef Octopus extreme 160. Can anyone give me the spec on it or point me in the right direction. And would an new impeller or pump make a difference? current pump is Sicce PSK 2500

If all is working and I would not worry about the pump Sicce are good pumps.
Octopus Extreme Skimmer Series
This new skimmer line will include the following features:

Powered by Italian made Sicce PSK-2500 pumps!
An integrated removable bubble plate to help reduce turbulence within the skimmer which helps build a dense head of foam
Extra-wide plumbing and necks in the design to allow for more air flow
Wedge pipe output which allows you to adjust the skimmer and have greater control of adjustments compared to using ball valves.
Improved venturi design for the Sicce PSK-2500 pump makes for simple use for protein skimmer pumps.
Features a soft pin wheel impeller as well as a mesh wheel impeller to allow hobbyist the option of which one they prefer to use.
Up to 35scfh to 37scfh of air pull using soft pin wheel impeller and up to 40scfh to 50scfh using mesh wheel impellers. ***Air results can vary depending on individuals’ aquarium setup***.
Draws less than 30 watts of electricity per pump.
Quick release neck on the collection cup - requires 1/2 inch of clearance to remove the cup
All models below are in sump skimmers only, external models will be available later this year.
New Color boxes with pictures of skimmer and full detailed instruction sheets!
***All Skimmers perform best in 8” to 10” of water***

Height: 21.25 inches
Body Diameter: 6.4 inches
Footprint: 8 inches X 10 inches
Rated up to 160gal.
