Huge problem this morning Brookster123. As I am doing the programming on my light I noticed my water flow seemed low. I noticed yesterday that the water surface wasn't moving as fast but assumed it was due to putting some pantyhose on the intake to save any fry,and fish, being as I found my pleco's tail stuck in it and I lost him.
I primed the Fluval 405 and restarted it. After a few minutes I lost my prime.
I then heard a "Ding Ding" in my head and removed the panty hose and tried it again. WaLah!
Problem is algae shot out of the exhaust tube like crazy. I am assuming it must have been running the pump without cycling for the last couple days as I put the panty hose on Sat.
I feel like such a idiot now but I have to go to work.
I plan on doing a PWC in the morning when I get up and I will try and research to clean up the ( hair ) algae I believe.
Signed,
Bummed out!
