skimmer pump swap question

briankmarsh1980 · 07/15/2014, 11:36 PM

I have had a bubble magus nac 8 for years and the impeller breaks a lot..... so my question is is there another pump I could swap out that would work better?

Is there a better thread I should post this in?

the problem is it is an internal pump and while I might suggest a sicce psk 1000 for the skimmer, I don't know how it could be mounted... so I would say, nobody really has an answer for you other than if you want a different pump, in your case, you probably should look into a new skimmer... perhaps an Eshopps s-200(or300) cone. or aquamaxx em300.
