     |  Ocean Runner 2700 Impeller Needed Fast
Ok - So my acros are doing great and I have new fish. Then I noticed my Turboflotor skimmer stopped skimming.
I took the pump apart to find that my needlewheel impeller is missing a lot of bristles that apparently broke off.
I'm screwed. Nobody local carries a replacement and I know that recently the USA Aqua Medic distributor burned to the ground! 
Damn my luck.
Should I just order a whole new pump if someone has one in stock, or does anybody know any place with impellers?
Or would a coralife needlewheel pump work with it?
I need to figure this out fast!  |

If you are going to get a different pump. Check out these. http://www.premiumaquatics.com/Merch...gory_Code=MAK4
The new Euro-Reef's are running these as a replacemnt for the sedra. There suppose to be better then the sedra and are cheaper. | |

Thanks guys!
The one at Marine depot doesn't look the same.
My pump is a Ocean Runner 2500, but they call it the 2700 because it comes with the needle wheel impeller instead of the normal impeller. Quote: |

What a drag! I'm missing 5 bristles. I wonder how that happened! | |

Custom Aquatics sells the impellar as well. http://www.customaquatic.com/customa...dexid=ps-ac-nw
And replacement pumps... http://www.customaquatic.com/customa...dexid=ps-ac-pm
Your's is in stock (NW only) and if orderred tomorrow morning, may make it here friday via ground. Trypically it takes 2 days for ground to get here from C.A. and M.D..
