I got protein skimmer Reef Concepts Aerofoamer 1612.

I was washing it and accidentally lost the O rings when dumping water into sewage.

do you by any chance what is dimension for the O-rings ?

I am sure I can get them on Amazon.

Thank Man!

I actually watched this YouTube video where guy suggested to make your own Oring.

It’s very easy.

I got a kit for 50 bucks from part supply store.

holds pretty good.

i also realized I was missing an air modulation valve.

I made it from another hose I had.

now this thing is skimming like crazy.

here is result.
