Whoever thought ceramic shafts was a good idea for impellors should be shot with a chunk of well aged skimmate

I would try to match the Ceramic Shaft with a Fluval one, this is was I did when the shaft broke on my super skimmer. The fluval was a bit longer than the super skimmer, with a little work I was able to grind off the extra for a perfect match. $5.00 for shaft or $40.00 for impeller. This might work for you.
Big Al's should have both parts.

I found the Fluval ceramic shaft on big als site for $7.99. It looks almost exactly the same. It might just work.
