    Newbie w/stupid pump question

    Got it. It probably is pushing through 6' of line, a check valve, and 3' to tank bottom. We'll try a new alignment. Thanks for the help!

    Newbie w/stupid pump question

    Hopefully, a "perfect storm for disaster" is not imminent; I'll try to answer your questions. Tank is 1 year old and in perfect condition. Two fancy fantails, neither of whom is over about 3" long at this point. Filtration is as recommended, water tested weekly, along with 10-20% water change...

    Newbie w/stupid pump question

    We have a 20 gal goldfish tank. It's a beauty and everything seems to run well. I have a single ornamental bubbler. I run what seem to be appropriate sized pumps, use a check valve, but pumps seem to die out after 2-3 months. It is operating 24/7. Just wondering if that's about right. Thanks...
