yup. It's slightly angled so that it wedges into the bottom of the tube. Without it, the skimmer just doesn't skim so good....

I never saw it either, and only figured it out after I knocked it out with a brush while cleaning. Took me forever to figure out why the skimmer didn't skim well anymore.

I have found the piece and taken pictures. Now I just have to resize and post them. I have to go to work right away so I will post the pics tomorrow by 7:30 AM. I can tell you that the piece measures 1 and 5/16 square.
