Awsome, it is worth a shot to see if it works. I actually just got an email saying they are getting the shipping ready, super easy!!! Thanks again for the heads up on the pump and marking them good idea.Yes, it is the exact same pump but it is manufactured differently. Filing the ticket and getting it resolved with red sea was easy. Make sure you mark the new pump and the original pump so you do not confuse them. Our living room temp is 72. With just the new pump running (skimmer off), the temp is now 74.5 or so. The replacement pump is free so worth a shot. You need your serial number and purchase invoice.
