Could someone please tell me how to remove the pump for cleaning?

Does the media holder inner plate thingy need to be used if no media is used, so I can put my heater in there?

Thanks

Just slide it to the left, then pull it straight up. If it gives you grief while you're restarting the pump, you'll need to play with how far you push it onto the fitting.
I never actually bother with rinsing my pump... lol. I do drip warm water down the air valve once every couple of weeks, though.

I always thought that was there just to keep the media from floating upwards and blocking the outflow.

Thanks.

Mike, the fixer upper guy, , figured it out. All cleaned up and repaired. Now I owe him, but he,s going away again soon, so will take care of his tank.

Its actually a fair sized skimmer.
