I need a good replacement pump for a coralife super skimmer 125. I think the flow is supposed to be around 500 GPH. I was just wondering if anyone had any preferences or liked a certain pump. Also, maybe getting a new pump isn't worth it, maybe there is another skimmer that wouldn't be too much more than the cost of a replacement pump.... Thanks in advance!

I need to decide whether to buy a $100 replacement pump for this coralife skimmer or to just buy a new skimmer. Does anyone have an opinion on whether I would be better off with a new skimmer?

I would ditch it and shell out another 200 bucks and buy a Elite Aquatics cone skimmer. It would be a night and day difference for you! Free plug lolWink

How big is your tank?
 
Do you have a sump?

90gal with sump. You'll have to excuse the idiotic question but what difference would it make for me? What changes?

you mean by replacing the whole skimmer?

Replacing your coralife with another skimmer gives you better results. Brands are built differently and coralife is IMO average, Tyler skimmers look great.
