Where can I buy a replacement drain plug for skimmer cup?

[duncangweller]

Hi all,

Whilst cleaning my skimmer cup earlier I lost the drain plug (the little rubber bung) down the drain in the sink.

Does anywhere know where I could buy a spare? Its a reef octopus skimmer and they have them on their website for $3 but I'd rather pick one up locally if possible than order it online and wait forever.

Thanks for your help,
Dunc

I lost mine a while ago, using one of those wood plug things used to fill screw holes. Works great, got a pack of 10 so I can change or replace. Works in a pinch.

Y not put a hose and valve on it

Duncan, what is the diameter of one of those plugs?

Wood plug thing is a genius idea. I'll head to home depot tomorrow and get some.

Thank you

Use an ear plug

Why not just disconnect the trap and retrieve the plug? That'll work if you haven't flushed it away already.
