Euro Reef - RS model

[i have crabs]

did u try cleaning the pump?

[Myka]

Ya, try letting the pump soak in white vinegar for a few hours, then re-try.

When I got the pump it was in very dirty condition. The first thing I did was clean it inside and out - she is very clean

if it is a connection thing - I think it is internal because after it runs for 3 mins it stops - this leads me to believe that something is disconnecting once the pump heats up. Once the pump cools off it starts again...

what do you guys think?

I use a sedra 1200 on my 250

[Doo]

Is that a Sedra 1200 or 12000?

Thanks

This is super strange, this pump ran without a hiccup for a year. I unplugged it, packed it in its original box and sent it.

It could be a cold solder joint very common in solder joints that were soldered VAI wave soldering or a person with a shaky hand. It can also be in the plug-in head if the wire has broken it will heat up and the insulation will exspand and break the conection I've seen this a few times. This is why you are suppose to unplug electrical items by the plug-in head.

sorry 12000

So the best I can come up with for a replacement pump is a SIDRA 20000

The GX 6000 does 6000 L/M = 1600 G/H
for the price (I want to keep it as low as possible) - The Sidra 20000 does 2000 G/H, I don't want to add heat to my system as well...


That is the best I can come up with - any thoughts or ideas?

is there a place I can get a GX 6000 locally (Edmonton, Calgary or even Canada?)

Please help if you have ideas...

Thanks guys!

A sedra 6000 is only 600gph. You can try a sedra 7000. Which model is it you have?
