Here is a friendly reminder because i have neglected to cleany return system... pumps and lines.
I have noticed my mag drive was not putting out as much flow as when i first got it and it started vibrating alot. So tonight i pulled the pump out and tore it apart. It had so much sludge built up in it that the impeller assy. Just feel out the mag drive because the magnetic was barely polarized through the muck. So i cleaned it really good and when i went to put it back together the assy. Pulled out my hand from the magnetic power
i also replacedy return line and put it all back together. Runs like new... almost forgot how much flow its supposed to have haha
But im adding this to my 3 month maintance from now on and figured I would remind a few of you to do the same.
Happy reefing everyone!
