Hi, I just picked up a used smartaqua ATO SATO100P (old version). I don't know what's broken but all the lights blink and it just constantly beeps. I think maybe the pump is broken.
According to these two links the pump can be replaced. The blog post refers to a different autoaqua model.

I guess I could buy a new pump but I don't even know if that's the problem.

Questions:
1) I was cruising ebay for a cheap peristaltic pump but nothing mentions what the watts are. The coralvue source says that the pump should be 12vdc and <10 watts. But pumps don't mention the watts.
2) Does anyone know what the connector type is for the pump side of this old smartaqua ATO?

THANK YOU!
