I think I ruined my Lemo Drop

[turbotoast]

So I took apart the base of my Lemo Drop and I lost the piece that the airflow screw snugs up against.
The arrow is pointing to the ring.


I went to put it back together and the screw doesn't snug down because I have apparently lost that piece. Can I order that piece or did I ruin my tank?

They only seem to be selling replacement glass. I've emailed them several times about gaskets, fill screws, etc.

I'm going to need to look at mine to see what that part looks like. I'm guessing you could get a piece of delrin insulator from Fat Daddy, drill it a tad smaller than the screw and screw it in. I bet you wouldn't have to tap it as its pretty soft.

Thank you for the idea. This is great news.

When you live in a 160 year old house in the boonies, you figure out how to fix anything
