Anyone have a spare skimmer for a couple days

What day came home from 8 day vacation and family member was supposed to watch my tank needless to say not so good. Instead of filling the ato bucket he just keep filling the sump so he overflowed the refugium which in turn pushed cheto into my skimmer section which then wrapped all around the impeller of my skimmer pump resulting in a broken needle impeller on my bubble magnus curve. Just ordered the impeller and they say not instock has to be ordered. 7-10 days. Anyone have a spare skimmer I can use until my impeller comes in. I will forever be great full to you.

Don't Panic, your tank should be able to function without Skimmer for some time... (few weeks)
just keep up with a bit more then normal water changes if you see anything need to remedy immediately...

note:
- don't do too much water changes in one shot... if you do it once a week(two time in two weeks), then now do it 3 times in two weeks...etc.
- as a common sense, when do water changes, keep the new water temperature as closed to the tank's temperature as possible.

good luck.
