The pump is cold. I don't know what a strainer is? I am pretty sure there was never one there or Frank would have looked. Feeling like a girlie girl at the moment since I don't know.

Also, how hot does the pump run?

In the back right corner of my tank is where my C/L intake is, the black thing coming out of the bulkhead is a strainer. Similar to a spagetti strainer. Keeps large debris from getting sucked in. I have modified it since this picture, but if gives you an idea.

Hubby didn't take it apart like I thought he did... prob too early and he played around down there, so I would get off his back. I have a reason to suspect there may just be a Gorilla crab in the pump. I was going to take it apart myself and I thought of Tony's post in the lunge and just decided to leave it be... The strainer will be going back onto it tonight. We took it off since we have filter socks and I forgot about the crab that is living in the sump.
