250 Skimmer Pump 3.0 - Now With Pictures!
- Thread starter Auritania
- Start date
Auritania - thanks much for sharing !
Auritania - nice pictures of the new Sicce pump! The pictures of the pump and impeller on the new Italian pump should answer a lot of questions that have been asked. The pump got excellent reviews in testing overseas, and if you get the same results you should see less heat, less noise, and a finer foam with increased skimmate. Let us know!
Auritania - give it a week & please let us know how it is doing for you & best of luck !!!

Terry.... when I got my Octopus HOB skimmer for my back up, the pin wheels had just come out so I bought them. Also got the original needle wheel it came with. There was a HUGE difference in bubble production between the two. The pin wheel was a big improvement. I can only guess at the big difference it will make in the 250 pump.
I'll never put the 250 skimmer back in my tank but would like to get one of the new pumps.

Nice should'nt all 250 owners get a replacement?
Would be nice

Since the original pumps and impellers were obviously faulty, I would think that would be proper, but I'm thinking that you have to request one through your customer support, and have your tank registered or at least the serial number.

Hello !
The new pump has arrived! At first glance the pump looks very well designed, more anatomic and slimmer.
It’s power consumption is 20W and Qmax 1900 l/h. The old pump as written is rated 55W and 1600 l/h. Auritania, your pic shows different figures, what is written on your new pump?
The new impellor has a ceramic shaft, stronger magnet and the plastic pins are thinner on a plastic base that is not longer circular.
When functioning, what a surprise, the noise level is negligent. At this moment the light fans are on and I can’t hear the skimmer.
Working for few hours and skimmate looks more consistent but for me It’s early to talk about tank temperature and performance.
It seems a killer goal from RedSea team, definitely bringing RSM250 tank to a new standard.
Some pics:
I will update with more impressions later. Happy 2010!

+1 Thanks for the post and pictures pocketreef! it looks like the upgrade pumps are not all grey - good to know. Good luck with the "250D" tank! Based on all I've heard the new Sicce pump will make you happy and keep you happy with the improved tank!
Will 2010 bring me a rsm 250, with a stock skimmer that works well, is quite and does not require a chiller and has t5 lights that support more coral & 64 gals - starting to seem like not so much a dream any more, but a real possibility
