I have an old NWB 150 skimmer with a Sicci pump which I purchased in 2009. It was the first cone shaped Reef octopus skimmer but it did not have the gate valve it had the tube for water level adjustment. I need a new pump and I believe the pump I need according to your website is the OTP-2000GT. Can you verify that's the correct pump. The P/N on my pump is worn off. Also I would like to modify the skimmer for the gate valve. I see you have P/N #ROP-Gate but do I need any other parts for the conversion. Thank you

Julio,

The NWB150 has always had the OTP pump. The replacement pump you would need to purchase is the following:

Do you have pictures of the old pump that came with the skimmer?

In terms of the Gave Valve, you would need the 40mm one.

You will also need the following part - Diameter: 40mm | Length: 180mm - (unless you are willing to cut the one you currently have in which case, you won't need this part:
