I need some help finding (2) replacement pumps along with some other parts. I was given these two reactors for free, and I'm looking to put them back together to possibly use one and sell the other. Any suggestions or help are greatly appreciated!

Parts Needed:
(2) Pumps
Some of the reactor tubes (Might possibly need one of the others)—marked yellow
Lid for main reactor tube—marked blue
Tubes—marked green

Do you know what pump came on the unit originally? A quick Google search states they originally came with a Sicce Syncra 1.5

Here is a pic of mine. The pumps were always hard to find but I believe Sicce and Ice Cap are replacements that fit

Hope you have some luck finding a replacement pump. I just picked up the same unit. The rx-6d and the pump is working but I'm afraid if it breaks I might not be able to find a replacement either. Another question I have here as anybody ever gravity fed this reactor. Meaning just using a quarter inch tube with water flowing down as opposed to attaching a feed bump to it
