How do I get one of these pumps!?
Bubble Blaster HY5000 pump
Its the new pump that Coralvue is putting on there ReefOctopus skimmers. Its a BEAST. I would LOVE to have this on my skimmer that I have now, but how on earth do I find one to buy. I can find the skimmer with the pump.......but I cant find just the pump.

I have an octopus DNW-110. The older version. I got it for dirt cheap, I was thinking about just doing a mesh mod. But not sure yet. 50scfh sounds nice too. But 81 would be insane.

beside that, your skimmer will not take the pump, the neck is way too small and you will end up with a foam cannon.

Well.....isnt that the idea?  just kidding. maybe i will do the enkmat upgrade for now. And then go with a new skimmer in the next 6 months to a year. My skimmer is great how it is now. Its only on a 45 gallon....but still.....it would be sweet to have MORE FOAM! |

Yeah, you just couldn't do it with that neck unless you added about 2' to the height 
I'm running about 100 through a 5.5" neck and it is too much

I am wondering if I put a larger air intake on my current skimmer along with a mesh mod, if I could make a big difference. I only paid 80 bucks for the skimmer.......but its beastly. And I really like it. I just want to squeeze every scf of air into the skimmer that I can. |
