Hi, we have a discontinued Diablo 225 skimmer, looks exactly like the one in this picture http://www.marinedepot.com/Reef_Octopus_Diablo_8_Inch_225_In_Sump_Protein_Skimmer_w_Gate_Valve_In_Sump_Venturi_Needle_Wheel_Protein_Skimmers-Reef_Octopus-CV12054-FIPSISNW-vi.html. Now that the pump has died, we are buying a new Sicce PSK 1000 pump. My question is what additional parts we need to buy as well? Do we need to buy a new adapter and a new stand( that white thing supporting the pump)? Thanks

If you purchase the same PSK1000 pump, you don't need any adapters. You can transfer the adapter from the old pump to the new one. The other option is the Aquatrance 3000.

Thanks, the Aquatrance 3000 looks great and should be the right height to fit into the skimmer housing. Do I need to buy any of its adapters?

Yes, just select the XS225 adapter.
