Maybe I shouldn't clean my tank.
Normally I break a little piece of coral goin after slime. Today I broke my bubble blaster. It just quit working.
No problems ever then poof dead pump.

I suppose it quit because I turn it off one a week for tank maint. I probably should have just pulled the cup and let it run.

In just over 3 months it would have been in use for 2 years.
Not bad I guess

What's the warranty on those pumps again ? Sorry to
Hear that Martin. Eheim all the way !

[BigMac]

I have no idea how long the warranty was for.
Ill look for the papers that came with it but there was hardly anything in the box.

[Roc]

my pump does that all the time cuz of a broken impellar, have you taken it apart yet?

Martin
You've seen my tanks. I try not to clean anything! I've found that most thing break during maintenance

[Hendogg0]

Things break on me when I do maintenance so I only do it once every couple months to try to avoid things breaking

[BigMac]

I took it apart and it's not broken.
I turned off my skimmer so it wouldn't overflow.
I turn off my return so it doesnt cavitate and my sump level rises just enough to freak out my skimmer
I got it restarted and it stopped immediately.
Add this to bad sushi and it's a sweet day.

Contact the manufacture and see what they say

[BigMac]

That's my plan.

My reef octopus has a 5 year warranty but the pump was only covered for the first year.
I guess I'm buying a new pump.

[Smiley]

what pump are you getting?

[BigMac]

I got a new hy2000

This new one is way different from the first.
It's quiet!
The pump itself is different as well. Th old pump had 3 screws and the new has 4.

I hope this is not too late but the bubble blaster pump is warranty for 3 years. Mine just death after 2 years in service and I got a replacement (HY2000)from jeremy @ coralvue @ no charge. Great customer service!

Martin you should still return the old one then, that way you will have a back up pump.

I wonder why there webside says one year.. too late to return. I tossed the old one this weekend. That will piss me off cus 240 bucks on a pump could have been bulbs or coral..
