Return Pump On Last Leg
It's a Iwaki 822gph external pump with broken impeller(s).
It's putting out only about 100gph I would guess. My question is; will everything be fine for a few days while I wait for replacement ordered online to arrive? That is really low flow between sump and tank. 120g DT 40g sump

I would think as long as you got some power heads for circulation you should be fine for a couple days. You probably want to put your heater in the tank if it is in your sump. Good luck

It will be fine just move the heaters as stated above.
If you are replacing the pump with the same one keep the old one as a backup, get a new impeller (not completely necessary), and put it on the shelf for a rainy day.

I understand the 'buy a new pump' thought. I agree and you will sleep better. But I would replace the impeller on the old pump and have it as a backup so you are not facing this problem in the future.

I did a quick Google search and see that BRS (Bulk Reef Supply) sells the pumps, give them a call.
