Wrong kind of current in my tank.
Last night when I was adding my shrimp I caught I notice the tell tell feeling of electricity flowing up my fingers. I isolated the leak to my Mag 9.5 main pump. I've got it turn off now but i'm wondering if that might be the cause of me loosing some of my fish. In the last couple months i've lost a Fairy wrasse, Yellow tang and last night my Kole tang that I just got a few days ago died. All of my fish seemed very healthy an I couldn't figure out why they died. I'm going to get another pump asap and I was wondering if a ground prob would stop this from ever happening again. Anybody know of any good deals on a mag 9.5 pump. I found them for around $60 online but I would really like to get one locally. I have my closed loop moving water in the main tank with my over flows turned off and my skimmer is keeping the water in my sump moving. Does anybody know how much Rich has those pump for?

Thanks I might. My tank will be okay for a few days, I have other pumps in the main tank and sump to keep the water moving. I hope that rich has one at a good price because I was planning to go by his place the first of the week and I'm going to take that fish that died back to B&B.

Rich goes out on his boat, Rob was having trouble getting him yesterday. My bet is he will be around Monday morning. I would think his local price on that pump woul d be competitive.

I talked to him. Brandon brought over a pump so i'm back up. I think that I will get a bigger pump than the mag 9.5. What do yall recomend as far as brands go. I will need a submersible. Rich does have the ground probes instock for 15 dollars. I'm going to get one of those.

Rich
I stopped by yesterday... his truck and boat were there but no one home... not answer cell or landline phones either, maybe he is out of town.
I'll respect you in the morning, but I won't wake up till noon.
Very good point......it gets to be expensive and a pain when stuff goes south....I am going to start stocking replacements for my stuff...extra bulbs, pumps, salt...I will use them anyway ....why not get them early and save on shipping...get best price...sales....and limit the pain in the *&$ of chasing something down....stuff always breaks on holidays and weekends.....or maybe it is just me...
