Skimmer issues: I have an old Vertex 150 skimmer (probably 7-8 years old). Last fall I started having issues with it not restarting after power off. I found that that the impeller shaft had a small broken piece. I ended up getting a replacement impeller, that has worked 100% until now. Now everytime the power is turned off, it does not restart and must be reprimed (I stick my finger over the intake for a second). I cleaned the pump and find no issue with the impeller or pump. Yes - it is old and it has served me well. But it really pulled out the gunk. Anything else I should try before giving up on it???
If nothing else to try, what are recommendations for a new skimmer?? 75 gallon - heavily stocked system. I started looking at the Bubble Magus Curve 7 elite, but it requires 9.5-11" of water. I only have @8" water depth in my sump. My sump is a 20gal long.
