Red Sea max 250 skimmer pump question

[erics210]

My skimmer makes a ton of noise. Tank is second hand so I do not know what may have been done to the pump.

My question is. Does the pinwheel have a red rubber spacer cushion at the bottom AND top???

Mine only has one for the bottom, but really appears to be missing one at the top. Pictures to follow...

Thank you. Now just gotta find a replacement. Maybe last owner lost it during maintenance

Yea. I’d give you the one I have, but it’s obviously a much smaller pump than yours. Most of the equipment for my 10 gallon nano, I will give away or sell real cheap soon.
