    I managed to snap off the tube fitting on the pump which is the Coralife 2000L/H I believe and I can't seem to find a replacement part(the piece that screws into the top of the pump for the tubing to slip on to). I would like to be able to buy just this piece and I know nothing about general PVC plumbing parts which I am assuming this is, but if that is not possible I would be willing to go with an upgraded pump. Any info on parts or a new/upgraded pump would be appreciated. Thanks!

    Since you probably will not find that part the best thing to do would be to take the pump with you to either a home improvement store like HD or Lowes or a plumbing supply house and see what will screw in there. I know most HD have a pretty good supply of barbed fittings but a simple threaded tube may work.

    I had the same problem with mine. I found parts at a lfs. Got tired of messing with that skimmer so I upgraded.
