Brilliant. Thanks for your help. It actually started working again by itself though. I've taken the pump out before, but I've not managed to take the impeller apart. I was scared to in case I broke it and couldn't put it back together, but as its over 2 year old and never been cleaned I'll give...

I've got a hagen Tropiquarium 68 and its been absolutely fine for over 3 years (same fish from day 1 and they are all happy). However I turned it off to clean the tank and when I turned it back on the impellor in the pump has stopped working. I've tried looking on the Hagen website for help but...

Hiya people, Thanks for the lovely welcome :D , I think I've updated my signature to show what fish I have now. Once I manage to sort out my pics I'll try posting one. ;)

Thanks for that, I'm sure it is the wood that I put in there when I first got it , and I do use Carbon. But everything I've read about says that the brown tinge of the water should disappear if I have an active carbon filter in there. I've been changing the active carbon every 2 weeks for over a...
