Split impeller

[Slick Fork]

Hi there,

So my Skimmer started running really loud over the weekend. Finally took the pump apart to figure out what was going on with it and it turns out the impeller magnet has cracked and swollen.

So, J&L list them as back-ordered and I have an email out to Concept to see if they carry it. In the meantime, where do I run the bigger risk? Running the magnet in the skimmer and possibly exposing my tank further to whatever leaches out of the magnet, or going skimmerless until I can track down a replacement impeller?

Also, anyone know of any retailers I should try to see if they've got one and can ship to Red Deer? It's a vertex in-180 with the Resun pump.

Thanks,
