Did you get a new impeller?

My impeller is holding up ok for now (fingers crossed) but if you've yet to get a new one let me know, I'll get one too & we could maybe split the shipping.

One thing about this skimmer is that I'm having to clean the sponge out every 4-5 days or else the pump will either run intermittently & not skim at all or over flow the cup within seconds, depending on slight water level changes.

A bit high maintenance but a pretty good skimmer when it's working right.

no i havnt orderd it.. im pretty ****ed about the hole thing. I asked him if the new impeller will last anylong and he just said it will last alot long... i asume the same thing will happen just after alonger period of time.

but i guess i should figure something out my tanks pretty messed up at the moment and im sure a good skimmer would help out a bit.

i think the only way you can get it for 12 is if yours is alread effed otherwise its 30+ $

I also got fed up with the sponge, it would quickly fill up with detritus. I just pulled the sponge out and have been running without a sponge for 2 months. Very few microbubbles in the tank. You just need to play with the "dial" on the bottom of the tube until you get the right setting.

Now i only give it a quick wipe once a month instead of a serious cleaning every week.
