WTB Bubble Blaster HY2000 Skimmer Pump (Toms River 08755)

[K9Chris]

Hey everyone! I got a Reef Octopus xp2000sss with the tank that I bought. The skimmer pump is broken though (the magnet swelled). Looking to buy a replacement...Or advice on MacGyvering an internal skimmer pump.

Post a pic if the impeller. I have many different ones I saved. If one will work its yours or stop by with the skimmer and try all of them.
I am in Lakewood.

Here's a stock picture of the impeller and how it attaches to the skimmer. Thats mighty kind of you to offer Mark!

I just bought this new pump for my octo 3000 It was pretty easy to find with a google search. Can't remember the exact vendor though.

 

[K9Chris]

@paintman27 Yep! Thats the one! If it comes down to me having to buy new from a vendor, I'm okay with that. Thought I'd check the club to see if anyone had a used or unboxed one first. The cost of one of these pumps right now is around $270. I could buy a new bubble magus PS that would fit my tank at that price and I wouldn't have to worry about buying a more expensive impeller later on- should it fail.

Here is what I have. The rod fits in both but cannot find magnet for gray one.

Dang! The grey one might have worked but the magnet is the part that was most important. Thanks anyways!
