Need pump for Vertex Aquastik skimmer?

[Exotic_Reefer0]

I was given this skimmer. Apparently it's from a really old company that's no longer in business. The skimmer itself is huge, and I'd love for it to be operational to use or sell later. Anyone know what kind of universal pump I could use for it?

I believe it's a Vertex Aquastik Alpha Cone skimmer

If I was going to attempt an upgrade/reboot I would contemplate connecting/modifying the skimmer to accept input from a Bubble Blaster pump. Not sure of the water volume this skimmer was designed to operate with, or if the hole size would be easy to adapt, but the dimensions and flow are here.

I love my R/O skimmer, have replaced the pump once after many years of use.

This seems like its exactly what I was looking for!! Alittle pricey but would be worth it!

Yeah, that is a Vertex Gen 2 IN-180 or 200. Hard to tell. They used Sedra pumps. Here is some info on them...
