its the full sized one. honestly i might have to find a way to plumb an external one, itll become easier for me to remove the cup. cause like this i keep moving the sump to get the cup out.

And what went wrong with it? If I have the right one, I’ll send it to you for free. I don’t need it and if you do, then it’s not sitting in my closet being unused.

welllllll. two things, the pump trashed and the air line began to weaken.

weaken in the sense that it began to just slide right out whenever skimmer was running.
