Sicce PSK-2500 Replacement Options

Lazylivin · 09/19/2012, 08:26 PM

Looking for some advice with replacing two Sicce 2500 pumps on my Reef Octopus 250 skimmer. I was thinking a single Bubble Blaster HY-5000 Pump? Would this one pump work better then the two Sicce? I think between the two of them they pull 70 CFM? Not sure what the BB can do. Also wondering if their is a kit to allow the single pump to use both holes in the skimmer.

just replaced my psk 2500 on a warner marine k2 with a psk 1000.
nice pump, working well & much better than the psk 2500.
different setup than yours, but rate a +1 on the PSK 1000

Thanks for response. I went with a BB HY5000. It should be in today and I will post back how it works.
