I just got done correcting everyone who's ever kept a saltwater tank almost nightmare! Was getting ready to vacume and went to use an outlet by my 29 flatback hex that has Mr. Jawfish, and a new princess parrotfish in it. Every now and then I feel the Ehimn just to make sure it's pumping. NOTHING!!! Turns out I had watched the kittens playing by the plug on an aircleaner, thought nothing about it at the time, but some how the Filters plug had come out. My daughtor swears it was the kittens
... Anyway took me about 1/2 hour of taking it apart twice to finally get it going and pumping the way it should be.
Now that is the only filter on that tank. I did just do a major water change about a week ago. Do I now have to worry about an ammonia spike?
I have no idea how long the pump was off.
Think I need to think about a backup filter incase it happens again. The tank is not in a very secure place with a 6 year old running around!
