Euroreef 6-1 Skimmer pump died

Well guys it looks like the pump on my Euro-Reef 6-1 is dead. I had a needle wheel and a regular impeller and it appears that the magnets have swelled an will no longer turn on both impellers.

Should I buy a new pump or just the impeller or just a new start looking for a new skimmer? The body of the skimmer is fine

Can I find a new magnet some where?

Any recommendations on where to get something like this.

Anyone know what sedra pup comes with the old 6-1?

Thanks

Looks like a sedra 3500, I would up grade to a sedra 5000 here are links where you can buy both pumps.

Sedra 3500 Pump w/Needle Wheel for ASM G-1X - G2 Series

Sedra 50000 Pump w/Needle Wheel for ASM G-3 - G4 Series

I don't know if they are the best prices or not so you may want to shop around a little.

Agree on the bigger pump

Thanks Guys I think I will bit the bullet and replace the pump. I was feeling the inside if the magnet well and it feels rough and pitted. I purchased the skimmer used and it has been running in my tank for over a year and I am sure for several years prior to that in the sellers tank. I will start shopping. Need to order something fairly quick as I am not into running skimmerless.
