Need some help... anyone got an extra skimmer???

[Tswifty]

I've been having issues with my MSX-160 protein skimmer's pump for the past few months, and have tried a variety of solutions only to have it crap out again in a few days. So I pulled it offline tonight, and plan on contacting the company on Monday to figure out where I go from here... if some replacement parts will do, or if I need to purchase a new pump altogether.

However, I'm not sure how long it's going to take to determine what needs to be done. So I'm looking to borrow an in-sump skimmer if anyone has an extra lying around. I know beggars can't be choosers but I'm looking for something rated for around 75 gallons... for example a EuroReef RS-80 or an ASM G1 or G2 would be about perfect for the time being.

I can throw a few frags your way for the help. I wouldn't need to borrow it any longer than a week, maybe two at the longest.

Thanks.

I have a euroreef rs100 with a genx4100 pump as an emergency spare, you can use it if you would like.

Ray do me a favor and PM me your phone number. I dropped my cell in a bucket of vinegar water last night and it's toast. :rolleye1: :lol:

Tswift, I have a MSX-160 if you want to use it.

Just let me know.

Chris that would be perfect. Since that is the same skimmer as mine I actually would only need to borrow the Sicce pump if that's ok with you?

My cell is fried for now, but I'm hoping to pick up a replacement tomorrow morning sometime and will give you a call after.

No problem, just drop me a line.
