Hi everyone, I'm hoping someone might be able to help. I have a TDNW 300 and it's missing the skim pot and Reef Octopus doesn't have them anymore. Hoping some one might have one kicking around maybe in a shed or basement haha.

So you are missing the entire cup for the skimmer? That one has one that screws on to the neck of the skimmer with a special fitting correct? It may be a hard find, especially for it being an older skimmer. I do not keep any extra skimmers around any more or I would offer to lend you one. My Bashsea Twisted 6-30 is all I need now :)

PS, it is great to see another Blenhiem tag on a profile. I think that makes 2 lol. There are a few people on here from Chatham and surrounding area though.

Figure if I can't find a pot I could find another use for it or at least the pumps

This one doesn't look like it screws on, so long as you find one with the correct dimensions, you should be good. Although I would prep for another skimmer as if those are the original pumps they probably will not last much longer. Also, that skimmer will be quite loud unless you are able to rig up some type of filter on the ventri air intake tubes.

Actually I did think about it. Max is 8x8x8" which would fit but wouldn't be clear. Stopped in at his store in Blenheim today ti chat. I think we have an up and coming new source for RODI units and supplies.
