Anyhow, I liked my first inovatek hpps eheim pump so much, I found a good deal on a used one. The funny thing is, the guy actually had two and broke the 2nd one by accident (so he threw it in for free)
I'm going 4 loops, so I'll use all three.
As you can see, the impeller has a broken fin. (cap is also broken, but that is just a standard eheim part)
Since getting this part from innovatek will almost be impossible, I'm wondering if the aqua computer eheim pump impeller can be substituted for it.
The standard eheim propeller uses a shorter fin. The inovatek and aqua use longer protruding fins.
