To be perfectly honest with you i havent been skimming for the last three years, been trying to but havent yet! (see other threads). I am sure with your low load and a promise to do a water change you will be alright till the new year (just do a bucket a week if you are worried) but for the time being if your looking to invest in a new skimmer in the january sales (do you guys get them??) why not do a quick repair job? If the unit is acrylic then go to a harvare store and get the sealant ( such as that used for pvc) which melts the plastic back together, or even use milliput ( if you also have that) which is a putty that is reef safe and goes off after a couple of hours.
