WTB Replacement Impeller for Reef Octopus Skimmer Pump

[Eienna]

I need to buy a replacement impeller for my skimmer pump. The pump model is OTP-3000. From what I understand, this impeller is also found in the OTP-1000 and 2000 pumps as well.

They're $50 on Amazon, so if anyone has the part in barely-used or new condition, I'd probably pay $25-30 (can't buy it until next month, and I'll have to check my exact funds then.)

I had to replace the pump with an aquatrance 3000 due to that part being obsolete....

So then it's discontinued? Great, exactly what I need.... >_< I hope I get the money soon enough that some will be left. I can't buy another pump right now.

The aquatrance pump is a great pump at the current price point ~$100>

That pump's not a horrible price, but I don't see it listed as having a compatible connection to my Reef Octopus for 180g. Not the newest model on the planet :/ if it does indeed fit, it's beyond my budget but not beyond possibility.

If the old pump is OTP 3000 then the aquatrance 3000 will fit........ I am using it on my RO 200

Hope it pushes enough water to keep up with my skimmer rating. Thanks a ton for that referral!!

There is also the Bubble Blaster 3000 but its 2x the price.....

I am still in the market for this piece if I can get it for $20. I realize there is very little chance of it, but...
