Coralife Super Skimmer 125

I just bought a coralife super skimmer 125 for my 30 gallon fowlr, it started to produce skimmate after 24 hours, and it was working good until i noticed micro bubbles coming from the pump intake and pump housing, thought maybe an o-ring went bad on it but it checked out, then I noticed the ceramic shaft going through the magnetic drive and needle wheel impeller was broke in half, don't know if I caused it or if it was like that. I tried calling ESU but its the weekend and no one answered. Has anyone had this happen to them, does anyone know of any links to find a replacement ceramic shaft and some replacement o-rings for the pump housing and pump intake. I put it back together and the skimmer still works, it leaks the micro bubbles at the housing, I can live with that until I get some o-rings, but the ceramic shaft is another problem. I measured the ceramic shaft and its diameter is .115", I can get titanium and stainless rod in .125 from my dad, I'll have to do a little modification, but with the titanium or stainless rod it should prevent it from being broken so easily as using a ceramic shaft.

I'll try calling ESU tomorrow and see what they can do for me. Let me know what you all think

Thanks,

 

Try DFS, heres the page to the RIO impellers. i dont know which RIO you have but if you can find the number the impellers are there. But i dont know if they are needle wheeled.

I called ESU and was told I was being sent a replacement for free, pretty good, but still haven't received it, I was busy with finals and such, maybe the holidays is making shipping slow, so I'll see where I'm at after the holidays
