Deltec skimmer pump replacement?

[galantra]

I have a deltec 1500xi skimmer for some time now and it worked flawlessly with no issues other than the pump having the propeller breaking on me the first time. Then replaced that. Followed by pump no longer working just heating up. Bought a whole new pump and now I am having the same issue with a dead pump. Which I let sit for some time and now I wanna use this skimmer for my new configuration with two tanks.

So, what I really wanna know is there another pump I can use to replace the aquabee pump DCS 1200. Not looking to spend another $250 for the pump

After the failure of our AC pump, and a replacement costing a lot of money ( see pictures )... I decided to DIY a bubblemagnus DSP4000 pump to fit instead. DC pump so a lot quieter. Not a direct fit. Requiring some additional parts but will confirm operation tomorrow when the joined parts all...
