sedra? I know my ER takes the sedra 9000 impeller, I think the Sedra is about the same size/shape as the pump that was on it.

Ya, my CS8-3 uses 2 Sedras. I may just look for one of those.

I think Sedra made the original pump for the Euroreefs.

Both ER I had came with Sedra.

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

Why not just get another gen-x pump? Probably the cheapest and surely the easiest. If you use the original impeller even better.

The listing for this skimmer new says a GenX 4100, but earlier models all came with Sedras, I believe. I think I had a spare and gave it away, always the case

Not sure what came with this, I was just given the body without pump. Or rather, it comes with a beat up resun pump that doesn't quite line up, and has a different volute with it.

my current ER250 has a genx pump. My older ER, the CS6-3 had a dolphin pump which was exactly the same as (and I think made by) Sedra

I know OA sells Sedra pumps, talk to Wendell

Should be the GenX-4100 unless it's really old then a Sedra 9000. Either one should run around $150 with the needle wheel and venturi.

Another option is the Bubble Blaster HY-3000 Pin Wheel Water Pump which is around $200 I think, a little more airflow at a fraction of the power. Haven't used one before but they look quiet too.
