So i decided to take out my sump/skimmer/filters, etc and clean everything. Long story short the piece on the Octopus skimmer that attaches to the pump cracked. Do I have to buy a new skimmer or does someone have an idea as to how I can fix this. Right now tank is running skimmerless. This sucks.

You won't need to buy a new skimmer. Does that smaller cylindrical piece slip out or is it glued?

Any other pics of how the pump is attached to the skimmer? You should be able to use tubing to attach the pump to the skimmer

That small piece doesn't slip out. The attached pic is a black fitting that connects the pump to the skimmer. The plastic that cracked is stuck insider there too.

Not the handiest guy really but can def follow directions so by all means elaborate.
