So yesterday I took apart my vortech and tried to "fix" it. It was noisy and I found a thread for bearing replacement on ReefCentral. Yeah that didn't go so well and I broke an integral part so now its toast.
Today I decided to clean my skimmer as the pump was making some funny noises and after turning the skimmer off I could see there was some detritus building up in there. Of course hauling out the skimmer I broke the top that holds the skimmer cup on (pretty much the shole piece that curves after the tube to hold the skimmer cup).
You'd think I'd have left well enough alone after the vortech "incident" but noooo.
So ya, I'll be getting out the silicone and hopfully I don't eff this one up. Darren I might be needing my old euroreef back. Frig these newer Euroreefs are built like crap, certainly not the little tanks they used to be.
I'm thinking the effing tank can bloody well maintain itself from now on. Cripes, next I'll be doing a waterchange and crack a pane of glass on the tank or something
