I have an older Reef Octopus (350 something with a 12" body) with the three older Sicce PSK 2500 pumps (the ones with the terrible start up issues). I'm looking for replacement pumps and would like to know what the current replacement model is.
I also wonder if its possible to change gears and put on Bubble Blasters with an adapter fitting?

I am guessing you have the Diablo 350 (XS350) skimmer... http://www.coralvue.com/diablo-350-protein-skimmer

If that is the case, then you need ONE HY5000S pump with the adapter kit... You can purchase it directly from here...

Actually the skimmer is older than that. its the model right before the body was changed to cone style. the Extreme I think it was called.
here's a link to a thread (not mine) but someone with the same skimmer.

did the ports and fitting sizes remain the same after the change?

Yes, that is the same skimmer.
