replacement for 13 year old skimmer

[mling]

I have a 13 year old Deltac 600, I think, skimmer.  One pump is dead and the other keeps dying but I am able to revive it by taking it apart.  I have not been able to find a replacement pump.

 

Don't want to see the day when the only pump is dead.

 

I am looking for a replacement skimmer but I have no idea what the current models are.  

 

Can someone recommend a skimmer for a 156G with a 40G sump (40G breeder) where my current skimmer sits in.  Sump is behind and lower than the tank so height of skimmer should not be an issue.

 

Living on a pension so hope spend about $600 and not $6000.   

 

Thanks in advance.

Any needlewheel pump will work just plug up some holes and run it that way.

Save yourself the money.

A couple of pvc elbows all that are needed.

Just an fyi i got a large etss for free from a member all i needed were 2 100.00 pumps there are plenty of old spray/beckett/downdrafts around for nothing.

A 100 to 200 dollar dc pump and you are set.
