Hey fellow reefers,
I was away from home since this morning and just got back a little while ago.
Apparently the circuit breaker tripped around 3pm and while one of my tanks is perfectly fine, I came home to find that the smaller of my two tanks water level is fairly low. Immediately I know something is wrong.
I open the stand to take a look at my sump and hear the return pump sounding pretty awful. I turn the pump off and then proceed to remove it, take it apart, clean it, and then put it back together.
With my fingers crossed, I prayed that it would start. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand nothing. The pump is pretty much shot.
I just ordered a replacement from Amazon to be delivered tomorrow.
In the meantime, here's what I'm thinking: I drain the sump, remove and clean it and all of the equipment, make some water, and then once the new pump arrives tomorrow, I'll get everything back in, fill it up with water, and get it going again.
Currently I have my vortech working fine so I'm not terribly worried about water flow.
What do you all think? Good plan or should I do something different?
Thanks in advance in this stressful time lol.
