Super Skimmer 220 Pump???

sharkbait993 · 09/27/2006, 12:38 AM

My CORALIFE 200 SS arrived today! But stupid me ordered one without a pump

!!

So the manual says use with a Needle-wheel Pump of 650-750 gph. I tried to search for Needle-wheel pump and even tried the Coralife website with no luck. Anyone have any suggestions on a pump to use? What happens if your original pump dies? Someone somewhere has to have a replacement??

Help!!!

well the bad part is that the pump that goes with is made just for that but the good thing is you can ship it back and order the other one

If you have the 22o like it says in the topic that is a venturie model and does not use a needle wheel, something like a mag 7 would run it just fine (220 does not come with a pump). 200 was a typo Im guessing?

If you want a really good but expensive pump you could order a Aquabee F2000 needlewheel from Finsreef, that pump would be a lot better then the stock pump.

www.customaquatics.com has a wide assortment of n/w pumps. that will work. (look up skimmers, then look for skimmer pumps)
anydarnthing, what you think, suppose to be n/w aquabee-- $40 cheaper than finsreef. http://stores.petorama.net/detail.bok?no=51
