broken red dragon 1500

[hunggi74]

I (BBlinks) replaced my RD pump in a Mini 180 with a Laguna 1350 from Homesalive. Canadian site and you can order by part so no need to spend extra on unnecessary parts. If you have trouble or are a big procrastinator like me BBlinks hourly rate is $1000000 hour.

Same thing happened to my Alpha 250 skimmer. I purchased it from an American vendor and they were able to order in a replacement Red Dragon motor block from Germany for ~$250 US at the time which was several years ago.

It was cheaper and quicker for me to replace the pump with a Reef Octopus DC RODC 5500S pump which had very similar specs in terms of water/air draw and also came with the added bonus of being controllable.
