Reef octopus 5000 int skimmer pump

[B-ridge]

does anyone have a old pump laying around or know where I can find a older pump? I bought mine New about 10 years ago. It seems they have reconfigured the pumps and the skimmer body over time. The new replacement pump I have bought does not fit my old skimmer body. The pipe that goes from the pump into the skimmer does not fit. Years ago which is the one I have the pipe would fit directly into the hole in the skimmer body. The new ones don’t. Any help would Be much appreciated

Did you contact Coralvue about the issue?
I bet they would have a solution.

I contacted coral vue. They couldn’t help me much but by the time they did I figured it out myself. Thank you all for your help anyway
