Today my main pump's plastic impeller(?) shattered. It is a GEN-X PCX-40, 1,190 gph.

First, I realize I need to replace it ASAP. I have power heads moving water right now.

Are replacement parts available?

Any suggestions as to what model/size main pump I should have for a 120g reef?

Thanks!

Tim

Can someone suggest a good pump for a reef tank? I don't want to just buy the same thing if there is a better choice. This only lasted 12-14 months (just beyond warranty).

Mag drives are good. Gen-X mak series. Iwaki is also a top of the line company.
