Mesh/Bioball mod for MaxiJet 1200

[blueramSeattle]

Hi,

I have a "sea clown" HOB skimmer that I got for $27. The Maxijet with the purple impeller has proceeded to loose the paddles so I am down to just 1 paddle left...

I am looking for:
a replacement Maxijet impeller.
material to mesh mod existing impeller
a bioball of the type below to make a pinwheel impeller.
a skimmer pump that fits the sea clone tubing.

Please let me know if you have something that might be of use and we can get in contact.

I thought I had you covered but I don't think these will work for you. I have a bunch!

Hey, take a look at this, they look like they have the center hole available for modding.

This is a very nice idea. I'm planning on doing this to fix a skimmer thats not working correctly for me. I looked into it and found Someone that did a diy of this. Check it out!

Thanks for the ebay link. With free shipping that is cheaper than gas to SV.

I will update.

my impeller took a k®@p so i did this mod on wends. im going to give the silicone one more day to cure and ill let you know how it worked out for me. but so far it LOOKS really good. if it performs half as good as it looks its going to be a good upgrade.

Okay I did this mod and it works amazingly well! My skimmer used to to have a hard time working under the max setting witch was 5. Now with the new mod it works even better than it did under the max setting and its only running under the 2 setting.
