How old is the pump? What happens with these impellers is that over time, they seem to swell up a bit (apparently, they rust inside) to where they won't spin. Look at the magnet portion and see if it's deformed. If so, you need to get a new impeller. I had it happen to a Sedra I had on an old Euroreef. I was told that it was lack of maintenance, but I cleaned it regularly.
