In need of skimmer please!!

[Yates273]

So my Bubble magus curve 5 skimmer is on the fritz. It keeps turning off on me I took apart amd cleaned up but that did nothing. The skimmer will come on briefly then turn off for no apparent reason. Can anyone out there help me out. Do you have a spare bubble magus lying around or a spare pump for a Bubble Magus? TYIA

I have no spare pump but if you’re just concerned about skimming until you’re fixed you can borrow my reef octopus hob 1000. It really does a good job.

Also pretty sure @brokereefer has a like new in sump skimmer for sale if that interests you.

I appreciate the offer but I may just end up buying a new pump if nobody around here has one for sale. Was trying to get today or tomorrow guess I’ll have to wait a few more days.

It probably only needs a new impeller in the pump.

Impeller fine. According to my Apex the wattage spikes up to 103-112 and that’s when it shuts down. I’m thinking pump
going bad so I did order another from Premium Aquatics.
