I have an extra one of those parts (venturi intakes), if you want to bring the pump by, we can see if it works. It is for a euroreef also.

If it fits, its yours!!!

I wouldn't worry about the crack in the body, worst case you bond it with glue

That skimmer just needs some TLC! (unless of course you are really wanting a new skimmer). However, being a part of the euroreef fan club (TM) I should say that it really is an awesome skimmer and you'll spend quite a bit of money to find a skimmer that outperforms it.

Grab the venturi from global designs and paste some silicone over that little crack. As for the part on the pump (which I think the venturi will be attached to) my pump ran looking like that for 3 years with no problems

I agree, plenty of life left in this skimmer.

Some Acrylic Weldon over the crack would work too. Weldon could also be used to fix that venturi intake if you wanted to fix it and keep it as a spare. I live in the SW, not far from globaldesigns, if you want to pop by one evening and visit us both, I would be happy to do that for you as I have plenty of spare weldon.

That good of a skimmer? She is a little bruised, and now Im thinking not toss worthy too!
OK, I am back to being a happy camper (not reefer -tank is still in limbo)
But I am running LR in my sumps, and It was 12:40 AM me sitting on the kitchen floor with my broken skimmer...
I have a teeny tiny hydor holding the fort down for a couple days till I can figuer where to go... sounds like SW Calgary

Tony/Delphinus lives 5 minutes from me, so I can go to his house. this will give me a reason, as I want to see his new setup, and I can bring the part and him and I can get that skimmer performing like new.

EuroReef is a high end skimmer, worth keeping.
