I bought the skimmer from someone who never set up his tank, so this was new old stock never seen water. Set up my tank 6 months ago and also have the bigger Diablo return pump. Skimmer has been working great until today. Dc-5500s pump wont run and I tried cleaning the pump, swapped power supplies and controller from return pump to help trouble shoot. It spins for a second and stops if I manually play with the propeller. What are my options?

in this case, since you purchased the skimmer second hand, it is not covered under warranty. I would suggest trying a new impeller first and see if that works. If not, you can always send the pump in for paid repair. To do that, start a private ticket and we can provide you an RA number and the information on how to send the pump in.

Can you send us pictures of your skimmer? Is the skimmer an INT or an EXT?
