My Reef Octopus Diablo Space Saver has been running on my tank for about 3 years now, with zero issues, it's been amazing. About a week ago we had a power outage that lasted a few seconds, and the skimmer didn't restart (it always had before.) Since it was time to clean it, I took it apart and tried to figure out the problem. Welllllllll, the impeller seems to be it! It smelled weird and has 2 large cracks in it, and is bowed instead of cylindrical. Anyone have anything similar happen? Any idea what went wrong? How long do impellers last, and need replaced? Up until now I didn't have any decrease in performance since the day it was installed.
