Default What would you do....new skimmer or new pump on old skimmer?

Hi all,

My tank has settled into its new home and things are starting to look pretty good.

I have one little gripe at the moment and that is my skimmer. It does a great job of skimming but the OTP - 200 pump on my Reef Octopus NWB-150 absolutely wails! The noise is pretty annoying considering everything else is so quiet.

So, I have been toying with the idea of buying a Vertex Omega 150 skimmer or just buying a new pump for my old skimmer. The pumps I have been looking at are the Bubble Blaster HY3000 or possibly a Sicce pump (if it would fit).

What would you do? Drop $400 on a skimmer or pay $250 and get a quieter pump?

Any suggestions on quiet pumps that would work with my skimmer would be appreciated.

Ta,
Dunc
