My varios 8 return decided to act up the other day, and in the midst of taking it apart to clean, I noticed the magnetic impeller had become cracked and swollen. Does anyone have a spare impeller that they'd be interested in selling off? I desperately need one
Strangely my s8 impeller exploded internally and it was a mess to take it out but luckily pump is in good shape
Anyone has a spare Varios 8 impeller they want to sell ?
It’s been 6 months and my protein skimmer just stop working properly . I took it out and cleaned it and still the same problem. I don’t have a recent picture but the water level will not go past the line shown in the picture no matter what adjustment or time period.
I had this protein skimmer...
Hi all,
I turned off my Varios 4S when doing some maintenance, and when I went to turn it back on it wouldn't start. Didn't surprise me, cleaning it was literally next up on my task list. Got all of the calcium deposits off, etc., put the thing back together and it wouldn't budge. It tried but...
Hi folks,
I'm looking to see if I can find an impeller replacement for my old Jebao SW-2. I can't find any replacement for that model but there are replacements for later Jebao models and the shape of the impeller is exactly the same. So I wonder if one of the series after SW use the same size...
hi! i’m having a little problem with my impeller, when i first set up my tank a month ago it had no problem consistently rotating but i removed my pump to inspect why it was so noisy and since then i can’t get it to go back to normal. i replaced the pump, tried twisting it all kinds of ways...
Hi I’m trying to troubleshoot one of my Tunze 6095’s . It’s getting power but won’t turn. (At least I believe it is as the light on the power brick is still on)
I’ve disassembled, cleaned & citric acid bath and reassembled - but still not moving.
Im now suspecting maybe the motor block has...
Hi everyone, so I've set up a little betta tank as an amphipod culture tank but the powerhead that the internal filter comes with is obviously designed for freshwater; I was wondering, is it really such an issue to use a pump that likely has a stainless steel shaft for marine purposes? The pumps...
I was cleaning my Jebao RW wavemakers last night and I noticed some metallic dust clinging to the impellers (probably got grounded off the impellers over time). They do not appear rusted. Is this something I should worry about? I cannot test TDS, but I do have some carbon on hand. I also have...
Hi all,
Just a quick one.
I am looking at modifying an old tank and the first thing that popped into my head is the Impeller.
I have removed it from the filter but how can I tell if it is Ceramic or Mild Steel? I would need a Ceramic one to prevent rusting from salt water.
Even the...
What I assumed was a second hand Hydor Koralia Evo circulation pump had an impeller failure:
Thought it was the 600 EVO, however this thing has no markings that I can find:
Any thoughts, ideas, or suggestions as to determining which model it might be would be appreciated.
Hi guys,
recently I bought used Skimz SN127 with DC pump and thought it was bargain...
But after a while I tried to power it on and it works loudly. I disassembled it and the pump (Skimz QPS 1.2) vibrates. Even with detached pinwheel it shakes (so imbalance of the pinweel is not an issue). The...
I am in search of finding a part for my NYOS Quantum 160 skimmer, specifically the impeller. Has anyone any information they can share with me to find this part?
Alright, so I got a Innovative Marine Concept Abyss Peninsula tank last year from Reef-a-Palooza and was only able to set it up now. The stock return pump turned out to be pretty noisy no matter how much I fiddled with the impeller.
I need a return pump that can fit in a 2.8” by 6” footprint...
So I noticed my return pump on my IM fusion lagoon was noisy. I forgot to put the suction cups back on the bottom after doing some maintenance. However, in the process of putting it all back together, I snapped the impeller shaft.... I don't need a whole new pump or even a new replacement...
My Vectra L1 seized up and while trying to take it apart for a vinegar bath the head of the propeller broke off. I will have to remove the propeller shaft later but need to find a replacement. I am not going to purchase an entire new pump.
I looked on BRS and the EcoTech website but cannot...
My Reef Octopus Diablo Space Saver has been running on my tank for about 3 years now, with zero issues, it's been amazing. About a week ago we had a power outage that lasted a few seconds, and the skimmer didn't restart (it always had before.) Since it was time to clean it, I took it apart and...
