Does anyone have a Sedra 5000 needlewheel impeller I could borrow? My ASM G3 crapped out a couple weeks ago. I had sold my ritteri and had a mostly empty tank and was going to tear down this tank so I hadn't replaced the impeller figuring I was going to offer up the skimmer for sale in as-is condition when the tank was empty.

Seeing as that plan just sorta flew out the window, does anyone have an impeller could borrow for a bit? Or a skimmer? Sedra's are used on ASM's and Euroreefs, if anyone has one of these unused that I could borrow for a few weeks can you please get in touch with me?

Thank you so much everyone for your calls and messages. A huge thank you especially to Tony for running over and taking care of our livestock for a second time. Tony took care of my precious clams in December of 2007 when we had a huge disaster upon our move from Edmonton here to Calgary.

So what happened was a tube came out and spewed almost 180g of water onto our basement floor. There was approximately 3 inches of water in the bottom of our tank when we got home this afternoon at 2pm. Thankfully the floor drain works in our basement, and it looks like the only "water" damage is the fact that I sacrificed a few of my good towels to help soak up the mess.

Our house smells disgusting, our basement even worse. The MHs basically cooked everything that became exposed to air as the water was drained out. We figure none of our rock is live anymore and are expecting to have to start over from scratch.

Thank you again to everyone, and to Tony for the help.

Tony, you can borrow my Deltec MCE600 if needs be. Let me know.

Oh, that sucks. I was offline this weekend and did not see this post until now. I can commiserate - we had a 150 gallon release its silicone seams in our basement twice - eleven months apart. We just about got rid of everything after that nightmare - hence I am now down to one little 28 gallon tank. The big ones are simply AWFUL when they blow up. I offer assistance if we can help!
