The original psk 2500 works but I would need to get a new shaft for 25 dollars. Then I still don't know how long the pump will last. This is going to be used in my new 200 gallon fish only system. Would like something low wattage with lots of air draw. Been out of the hobby for 5-6 years so don't know whats out there in this category. Started back up again with a nano but that's a different animal all together.

Tunze 9420 is another option, Sicce 1000 is a nice pump as well, check out the price of the impellers to see which one is the cheapest. If you get the Sicce pump make sure you get the new impellers they are grey. I think Aquarium Source as a picture of them.
 

Looking back to your reefing roots: Did you start with Instant Ocean salt?
