SRC Member Otaku Reefer Posted December 20, 2020 SRC Member Share Posted December 20, 2020 Did the pump died becos u leave it out of water or switch off for period of time? maybe its the impeller stuck, can try to do some maintenance to see if able to help. My china made skimmer pump also behave like this, just dismantle and assemble again fixed the problem.Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Temlaa Posted January 10, 2021 Author Share Posted January 10, 2021 Check out ehiem compact smallest size or sicce, should be able to fit I went to a aquarium shop at Clementi called "Clementi Florist and Aquarium (C328)".The shop keeper aunty was kind enough to help search for a pump of similar size and wattage.In the end only Dymax smallest pump was similar enough to fit in. It is a super tight fit might require some tool to remove the pump now Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanL Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Good that it fit, but becareful of dymax. I used to use dymax pump to mix salt. The pump leak voltage and I get a shock, luckily the watts is not high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanL Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Don’t worry too much. Maybe just because I’m unlucky and get a defect set. Just take note can already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Temlaa Posted January 13, 2021 Author Share Posted January 13, 2021 Does anyone know of a pump that is similar in size of this Dymax Ph200 pump but more powerful?Currently the flow in the fluval tank is kind of low. The overflow is like trickle down the wall.Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
