    My pump just died today and I was curious about where to get a replacement pump for it.

    Or should I invest into a new protein skimmer (don't really want to)
    Which one would be best for a 75 gallon tank and affordable

    How long can I last without a protien skimmer

    What model of skimmer is it...?

    EDIT: I mean the size/model number. The pro clear is a whole line of skimmers, not just 1.

    I have no clue how the pump attaches to your skimmer, or whether it's a circ or circ + air mixing pump, so I can't say.

    It has a plastic tube that connect to the pump and the black PVC on the skimmer

    I got all these things for free so I'm clueless where and what to buy
