Will a Tunze Hydrofoamer fit my skimmer?

[jjvanb]

I have an old MSX Extreme 250 skimmer and one of the PSK 2500's finally died. Not bad really, I got a lot of years out of it.

Anyway, it looks like the Hydrofoamer 9420 might have the air / water output that would be a good replacement.

Or are there other / better options I could be looking at?

Thanks

You might post your question in the Tunze forum. Roger is really quite helpful. Good luck

Considering the other sicce psk 2500 pump still running on my skimmer is the same age as the one that died I have been thinking it might be time to look at a new skimmer. I have often thought that the 250 extreme with its wide neck is too big for my light bio-load 150 g

I haven't looked at skimmers in quite some time. What are some good options for 500 or less that would fit my tank?

I might consider the Tunze 9415 then. It's just over $500 but you cant beat their customer service if and when you need it.

If you are willing to wait they are coming out with the DC model in March.

I have replaced a Sicce 2500 with a tunze 9420 on a I-Tech 200 skimmer large 8'' cone skimmer, I also put it on my ER CS 180 skimmer another 8'' body skimmer. I did not have to change my settings at all I feel that the 9420 is a better pump than the 2500 starts every time, the impellers are cheap and easy to get.

Another option is the Siccy Synrca line sorry I always misspell it, the 1000 would be a correct match, the pumps are cheaper than the tunze but the impellers are more expensive and you don't get Roger's C/S at Tunze. HTH
