Only got one of two powerheads working

serbusfish · 10/24/2015, 05:52 PM

I noticed today that only one of my two Jabeo powerheads are running. The one powerhead is still doing a good job, its rippling the surface well and corals on the far side of the tank are still moving from the flow, my only concern is my SPS arent getting as much flow as they were. Will they be OK for a day or two until I can get a replacement powerhead?

The corals should be fine for 2 days with less flow.

Have you cleaned the pump or is it just dead?

Thats OK then, hopefully my LFS will give me a replacement as it is only 6 months old. It is dead, it has algae on the blades but nothing is restricting them from moving.
