    Hello everyone ,
    I recently purchased a used / modded coralife super skimmer , the 220g needle wheel model. The pump was the original pump , but it was also modded.

    Long story short , I destroyed the pump. :-X And I need a replacement pump to get it working again.

    Should I just get the factory replacement part?
    Or should I look at other skimmer pumps at increase the performance?

    I found a link with acouple Octopus and ASM replacement pumps. Protein Skimmer Parts: Aquarium Supplies - Aqua Buys

    I was thinking it would be a better idea to get something that wasn't factory. Like a Octopus pump or something else.

    The factory pump , if I bought it would probably need to be modded to perform well.
