Wow... that sucks... (note to self, never let the wife get a beagle).

p.s. You sure have a way of making disaster sound comical... sorry that I laughed at your misfortune.

Hey, no sweat. If I didn't laugh at myself I'd go stark raving mad. Or drink too much.

LOL, that sounds like the kind of maintenance days I have when I decide to go whole hog on light covers/powerheads etc (minus the beagle but I would still manage to lose those screws or step on one and have it go through my foot). Probably why I don't do that kind of maintenance very often

I think I might just ignore the PH's cleaning until they seize up with coralline and just buy new ones.

Hehe, I only clean my powerheads one at a time, keeps the frustration factor lower

Wonder what replacement screws will run ya. I'm scared to find out!

Sounds like a crap day...I especially hate pumps that won't restart. Then you try and get them going near the surface...put back in place...gah!

No beagles for me ever...or another dog to be truthful. We are getting back into the kitty world tomorrow. Giving the wife an early birthday present.

We've got a cat as well. Way less stressful than the Beagle.

When I first got them I thought they were great, until I found out they don't start up again. Maybe I just got two lemons.
