DaveS January 27, 2008 Share January 27, 2008 (edited) I decided to clean my skimmer as it's been over a year since I inherited it and have never cleaned it. Put it in a small bucket of vinegar and let it run. Everyone says to let it run overnight so I thought nothing about it. Well I guess it overheated cause after a couple of hours the pump was not running and the water was very warm. Did I fry it? Anyone got a Sedra 5000 pump to sell? Oh yea, how long can I run things without a skimmer before my corals hate me? Yes, going to feed lightly in the meantime...

vaironman January 27, 2008 Share January 27, 2008 You don't have lots of fishes like most people do in a mixed reef tank (well, not yet) . Just do 10% water change every 3 days and less feeding as you plan to, should be fine until get a new replacement pump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
