Sorry for asking this question but what's the size of your tank? I didn't keep track

It's a 29g standard. Only reason why this is making me so mad is because the tank was doing soooo well.

I can totally understand. **** happens Two pumps burnt in two consecutive weekends in my tank. Its just part of the hobby and hence not a lot of people survive this hobby. Do another 15 gallon and maybe take a sample of water to LFS for a quick phosphate test.

Aye its the curse and blessing of a smaller system when things go wrong they go wrong fast whereas in a larger system you often have time to correct a problem in a small system the death of just one fish can affect your system within hrs. Having a much larger skimmer pro-rated will give you time in a smaller system to correct the problem with less of an immediate impact I have found.

When things want to go wrong, system size doesn't matter.
