Hi, so got me a used TL-550 but the return pump is poked, making one helleva noise and not moving much water.

Anyone know somewhere in the Cape Town area, preferably close to Century City that I can get a new pump for the marine, doesn't have to be Boyu but anything reasonably priced and decent quality.
 
Any petstore that keep fishtank accesories will stock aquarium pumps...
 
Make sure you get a ceramic shaft pump. Eheim is a great pump it is quiet, good performance and has a 3 year guarantee. When using cheaper pumps I have often had bum impeller which sticks and needs manual starting.
 
You can even buy the exact pump from builders warehouse in their pet section....:)
 
I replaced mine a week ago. Aquatic have the same unit on their shelves SP102 -1600. You just need to change the connections to fit into the tank, the ones that come with the new unit are too big.
