Default coralife superskimmer replacement impeller?

hey guys, i need a new impeller for the pump on my coralife superskimmer (125).. the best i can come up with is a whole new pump for 43.50... i don't understand why i can't find just the impeller, when you can get impellers for other pumps and powerheads... maybe its the needle wheel design or something like that, i don't know.... but so far here are my options
1) contact ESU and try to get the impeller replaced (i emailed them already and am waiting for a reply)
2) buy a whole new pump
3) chunk the whole skimmer off a high bridge and get a new one (possibly aquaC remora pro...)
4) chunk everything i've invested into my SW aquarium off of same bridge and get a dog (black or yellow lab)

ya know something? i think i may go ahead and get the remora anyway... i don't like the way the coralife looks on the back of my tank... and if i get the remora with a preskimmer, I think it would just plain look better...because you can hide the powerhead and all... i'll just have to wait and see what happens in the next couple of weeks...

CORALIFE FOR THE WIN! i just got a reply fro Dan O'brien (one of the guys from ESU), and he said he'd just send me an impeller! he didn't mention any money, or any warranty, so i can only assume that its gonna be free of charge!
