    I have an H&S A150-f2001 recirculating skimmer. It has the Aquabee pump on it. I know it is probably getting to the end of its life cycle. In addition, to it being louder than I would like. The skimmer I have was/is available with a Eheim 1260 pump. I say was because they have no US distribution, as far as I know.
    Anyway, I am considering purchasing an Ehiem 1260 but the ones I see on the internet are not setup for skimming. Where is the best place to get one of these? I think this is the same set up that the Deltec AP600 has.

    Thanks for any input.

    PS If I could find an Aquabee that would also be an option.

    They are pricey...$350 but Reef Dynamics has them, call them just to make sure it will fit and have your measurements ready.

    Wow $350!
    That is pricey, I could just buy a new skimmer for that price. I guess I need to source an aquabee pump.
