At the place where I work, the pump for the fish tank in the reception area recently failed. The guy who has been coming by to do maintenance on the tank ghosted us a few weeks ago, and for various reasons fixing this thing has become my responsibility even though I basically know nothing about fish tanks aside from "every minute this pump isn't working is a minute the tank is filling with ammonia, detritus, and microbes". I decided to check the pump make and model, it's a Fluval Q2, so my first choice was to of course buy another one, but they seem to be out of stock everywhere in the US and the only sites stocking them are in Canada and Australia. What would be a good substitute for the pump that can simply be put in place without redesigning the entire system? The aquarium is a freshwater African cichlid tank of 175 gallons and it has a three-chambered sump in the cabinet below it, which I'm guessing is another 20 gallons or so.
