 Re: corallife superskimmer, want to replace the powerhead...
i think i've discovered what had happened! there is a small piece broken off of the impeller housing tube, and i think it may have fallen down into the impeller housing and when the impeller was turning, that piece got caught and bent that rod... because looking in the impeller housing, one small area on the side has tiny scratches/dings, like something has hit it several times, in that one spot... ya know, this thing is retarded anyway, there doesn't seem to be any way to mount the powerhead to a solid surface... there's tabs on the bottom of the powerhead, but in the kit, even the list of parts in the book, there's nothing that would go there.. i may just ditch this whole idea, get an aquaC remora (seems to be the best HOB skimmer), and try to sell this thing on eBay... at least then i'll get SOME money back from it... |
