EMERGENCY - I somehow lost the..

BloBBeBo · 04/01/2006, 12:04 PM

big round black washer that goes to my coralife super skimmer while I was cleaning it. Normally it stays in the skimmer but this time it must have come out with the cup without me knowing. I've looked ALL OVER for it, but it's no use. My tank has been without a skimmer now for a few days and I'm getting really worried about my fish. I can't find replacement parts on the internet is there someone who can help me?!

You mean the O-ring I'm guessing? Did you try to contact the company or go to a hardware store and see if maybe they carry a large enough O-ring for it...

I have the same skimmer that leaked around the o-ring constantly. I e-mailed Coralife about a replacement o-ring and it took them a while to get back to me so I looked for one locally. The only place where I could find one that fit after looking at Lowes, Home Depot and irrigation places, was at the John Deere store. I had to stretch it a bit but it fits perfectly.

Dont worry about running skimmerless, I didn't have a skimmer for a year.
