Reef Dynamics INS80 Skimmer Replacement Pump?

[Fsurocks99]

Hey all,

My Reef Dynamics INS80's pump burned up the other day after years of use. It was a EcoPlus 633 that I managed to purchase just before RD went out of business. I'm looking for a replacement pump, but it has been a pain to track down what is appropriate for the skimmer. Was hoping someone might know on here? Thanks!

You can still find those pumps online. Just search on ebay. That's where I got my replacement for the INS300 just a couple months ago.

Thanks McPuff. I hadn't looked there yet. If there is a 'better' pump out there that fits, I'd like to know. While the pump survived for some time, I had it replaced once (under warranty) and went through a number of impellers and services. Would just like something a little more reliable...

Thanks reeftivo. I think that is a Sicce psk200, which is offered on other sites for way cheaper, like $100 cheaper. But that's without the venturi parts of course. I'm wondering if I bought the pump by itself, if I could retrofit it with the parts from my previous pump. I'd probably only need to buy the intake piece that has the venturi nipple on it...
