Skimmer diffuser 07735

[MadReefer]

My tank is not looking well after the sump leak and skimmer is offline. I have a Coralife superskimmer and hooked up my mag5 but have no diffuser.
Does anyone have a diffuser or pump I can borrow until my 120g is up and running? Or if there is an easy way to make a diffuser let me know.

Thanks,
Mark

Mark, are you waiting for that Atmann 2500 pump to arrive in the mail? If that’s the case, I have a spanking brand new Atmann in the box that you could have now, and when your new pump arrives, you just give me that one. Would that work?

Paul,
The pump arrived in 3 days. But two days later the sump sprung a leak. So instead of fixing it I planned on a new sump for the 120g. I drained the sump and let it be. The tank looks horrible with no skimmer so was trying to use what I have until I move everything into the new tank.

Here is what I did to get the skimmer to work. Many bubbles but I can live with for a short period.

I have a couple sheets of needle wheel mesh that can be balled up as used as a diffuser if you wanna try.

Thanks for the offer. I was looking for the plastic piece that attaches to the pump you hook the airline to.

Mark, that's a pretty good emergency DIY with the tubing. Sorry can't help you other than the compliment.

Thanks George. I had to turn the intake toward the glass because it was taking water to fast. It seems to be doing the trick for now.
The only issue I see is that my large green toadstool is closed for 2 days now. I will just keep an eye on it.
