I got it in a dirt-cheap bundle deal, and am trying to identify the model:
Can you identify this protein skimmer?

How 'bout this guy?
I can't find a matching model in their new products, it's almost definitely an older model.

I think I found it:
It’s an nwb250. Might be useless to me, though, since it doesn’t seem to have come with the needlewheel.

Looks like a coralife skimmer to me
Edit: didn't see the post where someone already guessed it. My bad

The Reef Octopus needs some TLC, but still a nice skimmer.

Dirt cheap is too much to pay for the Coralife...

Which part do I measure?

The 110-int seems to have it's model preinted on the main body, and it has a red cap.
I'm digging through the pumps that I got with the bunch, but I haven't yet figured out which one went with it if it's even still there.
Unfortunately, the pump inlet seems to have cracked off. I've trying to figure out if/how I can hack it together with a new pump -- I think it was a needlewheel, but all of this is new to me.
Fortunately, it also came with a Bak Pak 2 HOB skimmer (and pump), which I'll use until I get a skimmer sorted for the sump.

That's OK, I'll give you 20 points anyway. Speed doesn't matter 'round here, it's all about patience, right?

The main body is actually 6" in diameter.
It also only has 2 inlets/outlets, and it looks like the 110-int has 3.
Maybe it's the 150-int?

Sweet! Thanks! That's one obstacle down. Unfortunately the original pump (Aquatrance 2000) is almost $100.
It looks to be just a pinwheel pump, not a needlewheel, they call it an "air shredder." I wonder if I have another pump around here that I can use, it came with 8 other pumps, a couple of which look to be around the right size.
