Funny things going on over at Vertex, low stock across the board inventory wise at most major retailers, they have been MIA since before Christmas.
 
Hopefully sicce has come thru to the best of their knowledge the psk600 will work I’m waiting for it to arrive and will let everyone know
They have suggested a PSK1000 for the v180i, how did your match up end up? Any noticeable reduction is efficiency?
 
I got the impeller and checked it out and length and with it matches but fixed the old impeller as I waited for the new one and it been running till now so figure don’t fix swap till it really broke lol
 
And I even picked up a vertex 150 now to lol

Ran a omega 150 on 75 gal for 2 years. Not happy with noise or junk output. Tried air restriction. Bought a octo elite 150 which has vario 2 dc pump. Running at speed 3 (speed 1 to 5). Very happy with results. You might get a vario 2s pump and retrofit to vertex 150. Ports look the same, but I haven't tried. Is the moral that the omega 150 was oversized? Followed the +1 rule, popular at the time.
