    Hey guys...I'm looking for the pump that came with my Coralife 125 Protein Skimmer...it's shot. Any ideas what I can use for one? Thanks...

    I have the Coralife 125. Let me check the manual and see if it says what brand/model the pump is.

    I have a pump for a coralife skimmer. Not sure if its for the 65 or 125, there are no markings really on it, but maybe if you find measurements on the size of the pump we would know if this is the right one. LMK if you can find measurements. I will try to take a pic tomorrow.

    Honestly, I cant find any info on the type of pump used for the coralife skimmer. And my manuals are gone. My 125G rated skimmer is going to be up for sale soon. If you cant find a replacement pump, or new pump in a week or so Shoot me a PM.

    I have a brand nearly new pump for a 220g skimmer, (used it to mix salt 3 times) - yours for 50 dollars. it's a neddle wheel pump - the latest version.

    Ok, I have a pic. there really are NO markings on the thing, but I am almost positive it's a rebranded Resun or Jebo pump for the 125. It could be for the 220, but I really don't think so. I got it in a bucket of misc. stuff I bought a couple of years ago and it has never been used by me, except to make sure it works, which it does.

    Hi Bret-

    Looks exactly the same as far as I can tell. Does yours measure about 3 in. top to bottom of the body, and about 4 in. long?

    If so I guess we can reasonably say it is the right pump. The one I have looks basically unused, PM me if you want to buy it- sure we could work something out.
    thanks,
    Jan
