The last couple days my skimmer has been over flowing overnight. I've also noticed I'm not pulling out as much gunk as it was in prior months.  It's an older model Reef Octopus DNW 250, any ideas on replacement pumps for these.

I have a motor block for a bubble blaster 2000.  Needs an impeller.

Buy a Jabeo 6000 and a replacement needlewheel from reef octopus Diablo 5500.. You would have a wicked skimmer

I will look into this... I don't want to have to add anything like adapters to be able to hook up the pump, I don't have that much room in my sump.

I had an impeller swell inside the pump block and thought it cracked it but it did not.  Coral cue sent me a complete pump as a replacement.
