Came home to a high salinity, 68 degree display tank...
Some fairly heavy coral/fish losses.
Anyways, pump was plugged in and not spinning for 3 days. Impeller was seized with calcium. Will main body be okay, or do they burn up?
Its a Mag5 and I cant get the shaft out of the magnet. If body will be alright, I'll pop down to JLs for a new impeller
It was pretty fun watching my wifi controller on vacation show temps creeping up to 87 degrees. I guessed:
-heater stuck on
-MH stuck on
-ATO failed> sump ran dry
-Fried pump raising temps
-failed return pump
Turned out the be the return pump.
Lots of fun things to ponder over the last days of my vaction!
