Bubble Blaster HY-3000 Pin Wheel Water Pump.
Our new Bubble Blaster skimmer pumps are a true innovation to the aquarium hobby. While all other skimmer pumps on the market are modified water pumps from a water pump manufacturer the Bubble Blaster pumps were designed and built to be a skimmer pump first!
These pumps feature a digital control circuit board inside that controls directional startup and RPM speeds. This smart circuit board will shut the pump off if it detects a problem. Another unique feature is the clear volute housing which allows you to see inside the pump without having to take it apart. You can easily see if something is stuck inside. Something never seen before on internal or external pumps is the Silicone Nitride shafts and bearings that we use.
The benefit of this material is that it will not allow calcium to adhere to it like ceramic. This means less maintenance and cleaning and more time for you to enjoy your aquarium instead of working on it! The biggest feature of the Bubble Blaster pumps is the enormous amount of air that they pull. Air and water volume is the key to aggressive protein skimming and there is no other pump on the market that is capable of pulling the amount of air that the Bubble Blaster pumps deliver.
With the performance of these pumps and a 3-year warranty how can you go wrong!

Replacement pump for original Reef Octopu
I have used a Reef Octopus skimmer for about 8 years on my 220 gallon mixed Reef tank. The skimmer works well for me as I have to maintain a low water level in the sump to have room for the tank to drain down during a power failure. The 3000 is more than enough skimmer for my setup. I would give the skimmer 5 stars if I didn't have to replace the pump ever 3 to 4 years. One big plus is replacement pumps are available and I don't have to buy a complete skimmer.

Just what I needed
This replaced my Reef Octopus Extreme 200 venture pump, the problem plaqued PSK-2500. It matched right up with no adapters needed, even though CoralVue said one was necessary - save your money. There is a height difference between the bottom of the skimmer and the pump now that will have to be compensated for. Also this pump should not be operated in more than 6" of water or you will overflow the skimmer. Apparently there is too much back pressure on the pump.<br><br>After firing up my skimmer it start pulling foul smelling, dark, nasty green skimmate from my tank immediately. It's been running like a champ ever since with no issues.

Excellent
Bought this to replace the pump from Internal bubble king skimmer. Cost is 1/3 that of RD skimmer pump. Fits perfectly on the existing system, immediately started producing nasty dark green foam.You could see the impeller at work.
