Update on Stopped pump/fishkeeping by seat of pants!

[martanewbie]

Hi all,

You may recall my (slightly panicky) post on Monday re stopped pump
Did as you all advised, and stopped feeding the fish..
Also I put an airstone in, to keep oxygen levels up
Took pump apart, and found that there was water ingress in the UV unit
By that time my replacement pump had arrived (thank you Amazon Prime!)
Yesterday connected it all up
Green water clearing nicely, fish feeding again, and swimming round as if there had been no dramas!! Phew!!!! xx




Thaqnkyou all for your advice

Always a good idea to have a backup pump.

Agree
Going to order a spare as well
These are rescue fish, so was really concerned...
