I'm looking for a replacement pump for my Coralife Super Skimmer 220. No one seams to have one in stock. I have called everywhere!

Any help would be appreciated.

Yeah, I have called everywhere and actually purchased the pump and paid on one site for them to call me back a week later and tell me that coralife was not stocking this pump any longer (update your site buddy).

I'm using an anheim on it right now and have a air pump pushing bubbles though the air inlet but this is not working efficiently.

Giau,

Thanks for the great customer service; however, I will find another use for it should I not get it running efficiently with an after market pump. Thanks though!

Bill,

It would probably be safe to say that you have had many experiences with coralife especially since you have been reefing for over 30 years....so I will take your indirect advice!

What's really a shame is that their website (which is finally back up after being down for like 6 months) shows this skimmer as a current product.

As bad a Rio pumps are/were, TAAM has great customer service. On the other hand, Coralife has been abyssmal.

What's wrong with the pump? I jjust had to replace the impeller on mine. I found it on bigalsonline.com. Since they stock the impeller, surely you could get the whole pump from them.

just checked big al's, no luck. I could've sworn I found replacement pumps while searching for the impeller. Try ebay, I think I saw some there.

Good snag, Glenn. BTW, my wife would get mad if I went to bi-gals.com.
