Need to Borrow or Buy Skimmer ASAP Mine Died

[windyridge]

I have an ASM MiniG that has been getting louder and louder. It finally quit this AM. My tank after 4 weeks is just starting to get long stringy gooey threads with bubbles at the top. I have been waiting for this as my tank is almost new (upgrade with old rocks and new). Now is not the time for my skimmer to quit! I am probably ordering the SCA 302 as I have read good things about it, have space limitations and it's a great price. But it comes from CA so it will be awhile. Can anyone lend me a skimmer that they may have as a spare sitting around, while I wait for the new one? I can't have anything taller than 20 inches and the pump needs to be in the bottom of the skimmer (I have a 15G sump and very limited space). Or... does anyone have one for sale that would be suitable for a 92G corner that is QUIET!

The ASM is only 6 months old BTW. I can probably send the pump back for warranty but I certainly can't wait for all that to happen and I don't really like the skimmer.

I have a reef octopus sitting here you are more than welcome to use if you come and get it. needlewheel 150 should be plenty for the 92 gallon

Travsi you are awesome but you are 4 hours away from me :-(
Thanks anyway. I guess we will survive for the week to 10 days it will take to get the new skimmer here. I have good circulation in my tank and 100 lbs of live rock as well as live sand, a filter sock down below and a refugium so that will have to work. I am just brushing off the diatom strings as they arrive. It's not too bad, I just get a a little freaked out
