Display Pump Died!
i have been using an Aqua Medic 3700 for some period of time.... I'm not sure how long actually, I just know that my last pump also died in the middle of the night between a Saturday and Sunday. There was water spraying all over the room from the wave makers as the level went down. My bloody husband was meant to get my glass covers down from the storage spot when I brought home my wrasse from @Aquariums@Asquith but he never bloody did it and I can't get them safely. Then the sump overflowed and flooded everything. I had taken a sleeping pill because I have had severe insomnia for a couple of months. Matt had to wake me up to sort the mess out and now I am wide awake again.
I guess now I know what was causing the leaking current into the aquarium. I wondered what it was for a while but thought it was a heater. It was pretty bad at times, quite painful to put your hand in the water.
I had to go pull the pump out of my koi pond to keep the aquarium going. It's only an Aqua One/Pond One 1300 L/h because the pond is only 150L where the aquarium is 450L.
I don't know what to do. We don't have a credit card so I need to wait until at least Monday to get money moved across to the account. I am hoping the pond pump can hold it together long enough for me to be able to return it still functioning to the pond as I only just replaced that one.
Should I just buy an Aqua One pump? I honestly don't really know what to buy or where from at this rate. I am feeling a bit scared of aqua medic now. Aqua one are ok but the impellers wear out so frequently. We don't have heaps of money as I have been going to a lot of Doctor/Physio/massage guy appointments due to some back problems. Is there anything that just lasts?! Does anyone else have to regularly replace their system pump? Is anyone close to the central coast with a spare pump they don't need that I could borrow or buy?
