Skimmer help

[wolfinlv]

Ok here's my problem... skimmer wasn't working so took pump out to clean and found that the porcelain shaft of the impeller is broken. I've been to two places in town looking for either a replacement shaft or a replacement impeller or replacement pump I don't care but I need the dang thang working. It's a coralife I think it's the 220 coralife frankly at this point I'm willing to buy a new skimmer but it has to be HOB. Any Ideas or help would be greatly appreciated. I have atlantis calling their suppliers to see if they can get me the impeller but from what I saw online they don't come with the shaft...

You can buy the parts online. Most places are in California and the parts usually arrive the next day. If you must have a hang on the back, you might want to look for a CPR. You can find them online (eBay) used for dirt cheap. Heck I'm sure there is a few folks around here with them sitting in their garage. Might look on marine depot for the impeller. They have super fast shipping.

thanks 5Oh will check that out. CPR doesn't seem to have one for above 100gallon. My tank is 135
