Check Lowes or Homedepot might be able to find one there also if you can find one the right thickness but to big you can always cut it down and super glue the ends together I acutally done this with the skimmer on my small tank now worth a shot

ill try that,didnt think of it,someone messaged me saying they want 4 bucks for an o ring,thats not too bad i suppose

You can take several large rubber bands and kind of twist them together and that will work until you can order one.

good idea,i actually wondered if i could do that,was looking for one of my wifes hair scrunchie thingy mahooters but they are too small lol yes i say thingy mahooter lol

Haven't heard that one before The rubberbands work well temporarily but keep in mind they will break in a few days/weeks but a good stop gap IMO.

I tried everything then just happen to have a old pump off one of the walmart easy set pools took the 0 ring off that cut it to fit then added some super glue to each end let it dry for about 20 mins then recoated 2 more times works great plus really cheap if you could find something at walmart or whatever to make one simple
