Where can I buy a replacement drain plug for skimmer cup?
 

Hi all,

Whilst cleaning my skimmer cup earlier I lost the drain plug (the little rubber bung) down the drain in the sink.

Does anywhere know where I could buy a spare? Its a reef octopus skimmer and they have them on their website for $3 but I'd rather pick one up locally if possible than order it online and wait forever.

Thanks for your help,
Dunc

I lost mine a while ago, using one of those wood plug things used to fill screw holes. Works great, got a pack of 10 so I can change or replace. Works in a pinch.

Y not put a hose and valve on it

Duncan, what is the diameter of one of those plugs?

Wood plug thing is a genius idea. I'll head to home depot tomorrow and get some.

Thank you

I super glued mine

Use an ear plug

Why not just disconnect the trap and retrieve the plug? That'll work if you haven't flushed it away already.
