Eshopps skimmers

I was looking at these just cuz... However too many complaints and it seems cheap. I guess you get what you pay for.

I personally have a euroreef also and a Hyder 1000. I would fix the crack and keep using the Euro. If you can fix it, why replace it? Again I don't know how bad it is cracked, but you can always get a thin sheet of acrylic from home depot cut it to fit over the crack and glue it overtop of the cracked area, for a tight seal.

Edit:
On another note, impellers have a habit of swelling. EuroReef impellers are over $100 bucks once you get it across the border. I bought a Sedra 5000 bought it just didn't have the throughput that my GX4100 (which came with the EuroReef RS180) had. I wondered, Hum..... is the Sedra impeller the same? Well I took it apart and compared to the original pump impeller, it was almost exactly the same. Only difference is the magnet was a bit shorter, that is it!!!! I put it in my original pump, and the EuroReef is working as if it was new and whisper quite.

So what I am saying is that other EuroReef owners with same type of pump, buy a Sedra 5000 needlewheel for $40 instead of ordering from EuroReef direct for over $100 shipped.
