Hi,

I have a Reef Octopus skimmer and the pump (OTP 2000) seems to be shot. Tried to take it apart to find out why, but eventually get to a point where I can't get it apart anymore. Since I have to replace the pump anyway I was wondering if I should be making any upgrades at this time. Advice from more experienced people? I've read this here...

And they suggest going with a bubble blaster hy-3000. Comments?

Cheers

Do you have the OTP2000GT (large gray output) or the OTP2000NW (smaller black output)?

Hi,

I have a grey output. I've been reading and apparently OTP skimmer pumps don't last so long... is this true? Should I be going bubbleblaster skimmer pumps?

Your pump options depend on what skimmer model you have. Please let me know what model you have and I will give you all pump options.
