Here is a known problem with Sedra's I have read about and experienced with the Sedra 5000 on my (ex) Euroreef.
The impeller has a magnetic material which is a powder inside the plastic impeller casing. After a couple of years the impeller swells up until it starts to bind inside the motor, then you need to buy a new impeller.

Drop by sometime
 I have a tiny amount kicking around. Sold my ASM so no skimmer currently that I can meshmod anyhow.Wendell (OceanAquatics) has Sedra parts. I've gotten both the pumps and replacement impellers from him in the past (both regular pump impellers and needlewheel impellers)..
