LF: Protein Skimmer

[Djbeasley05]

Does anyone have a protein skimmer rated for 190+ gallons they can part with?

I think I do
Well, I know I do, but the one would probably be too much for a 190 system.(SRO 5000 ext)

Not sure about the other two, I can check their rating when I get home this evening

I hope you do. I'm thinking everything else I have is more in the 15ish range.

What's the cons of running an oversized skimmer for the system?

I have an H&S 200-1260 if your interested, $200. When I bought my system in January the previous owner was using it as an external skimmer.

Everything else I have is for 150 or smaller.
That's a heck of a skimmer from Mkart, and a heck of a price. No bells or whistles, just a solid skimmer. Built like tanks (or a least they used to be).
And I think they use an Eheim pump. Eheims last forever, and if it does need to be replaced, they're available everywhere at reasonable prices.:thumbsup:

I have a H&S dual 1260 skimmer and I'm looking for a replacement needle wheel or new skimmer pump. The issue with eheim skimmer pumps is finding repair parts in the US. The 1260 block is found everywhere, the needle wheel isn't

If the OP passes on the skimmer Mkart will you let me know. I'd buy it just for the pump

Very odd.
Have you tried contacting Eheim directly?

Yes. I have a ticket created with them on February 25 and to this date no response.

The researching I've done I've found a company in Germany that sells the pump/ needle wheel Sewatec When I try signing in or creating a account the error message pops up something about VAT ID as you see in the first pic

Marine depot seems to sell the whole pump, maybe they can get the needle wheel

Have you tried to contact Eheim directly, or their distributor?
There's a needle wheel impeller for their 1103, not sure if it would be compatible or not.
But if they offer that needle wheel, maybe they can get in one that'll fit the 1260?

I'll be calling their support hot line and or places like Marine Depot etc... My understanding of the 1103 is that it's a smaller pump for the newer skimmers
