Pump It Up!!!!!!!

[grouper]

Intake pump from the sump to the tank just DIED....:mad2: Since it's almost1:00am, I don't have anywhere to go an pick one up. Will the tank be okay until I get a chance to pick one up on on Saturday morning? I have 2 powerheads running now.

Should be. If you heater is in the sump, move it into the display, though.

Try cleaning the pump out. All pumps eventually get calcified and stop working so you have to clean it out.

The key is to set up a regular maintenance schedule so it doesn't stop working.
