Hi I have Diablo 300ext Recirculating Protein Skimmer with a various 6-s is their a pump that’s bigger to produce more foam for this skimmer I feel like on its highest settings it’s not producing as much micro bubbles as it should I’ve change the pin wheel to a new one but I still feel like it needs a better or stronger motor does anyone know of a replacement that would fit that would make it better?
 
Good evening,

You might want to look into upgrading to a pump like the Sicce PSK1000 or a Reef Octopus Aquatrance, depending on what fits your skimmer body. If you’ve already swapped the pinwheel and still aren’t getting the bubble production you expect, a stronger or more efficient pump could definitely help. Just double-check compatibility and flow rates before buying to make sure it pairs well with your Diablo 300ext.


Regards,
Slade
 
Thanks for the reply I had a page that was showing options for this but somehow didn’t save it
