Anybody have an atman 1100 impeller?

My skimmer started making a loud buzzing noise... it uses an atman 1100 pump. I have a spare pump that I moved the impeller into and the buzzing still persisted. I would guess that means it has to be a problem with the impeller.

Anybody have a spare to sell?

What do you have as a skimmer? Bubble magus? I have a bubble magus nac 7 and hate that skimmer at times. The impellers tend to break and make some noise. I keep spare ones for when this happens.

SWC xtreme 120 cone skimmer.... it actually has a custom impeller but the standard pinwheel is supposed to work.

Skimmer still works fine but I have it out at the moment due to the noise

IMO, the pinwheel works better than the stupid mesh/needlewheel hybrid. The hybrid impeller works really well for a couple weeks, but then gets gummed up and starts skimming inconsistently. Switched them out a couple months ago and will never look back. If you've gotta replace it, get the pinwheel. I've still got the needle/meshwheel hybrid if you want it though.

I should be clear, I have the front end, not the magnetic end. The magnetic end is still in my skimmer
