I Need Help Please Asap

[marieukxx]

My pump has stopped working. This is what it is:

But if I buy that it's in Hong Kong and will take ages to arrive. What can I get here to replace it? Any suggestions welcome. It's a small 21.6 litre aquarium.

Can you not replace it with another filter Marie??
Move your media over??

 

[marieukxx]

Gonna have to. So peed off right now. Why does everything have to go wrong! I'm going up pets at home now to get the fluval U1 and I'll put the sponge in there.

More money spent when I'm skint too

 

[sausagewinkle]

I no its always the same

oh dear, does this relate to your earlier thread about the pump not starting by any chance?

Why dont you fill up a bucket with water and see if you can get it running outside, sods law will probably make it work.

If its that small i would go for either a fluval U1 or an interpet pf mini, both reliable and easy to use

It plugs into the actual hood so can't try it anywhere else. Anyway I've managed to jam my tweezers into it and can't get them out now so it's defo had it. And don't even ask about the tweezers lol.

i wont then its probably a sledge hammer job to get them back again lol!

Yes they're jammed right in. Good tweezers as well which is annoying.

 

[Blubble37]

why dont you repeat the action you did to jam them in backwards? that would free them surely!

Are they caught in the impeller?

Yeah I stuck them in to try and get it moving and they're well and truely stuck. I've tried to get them out but they're not budging. It's a day of disasters for me lol. All this started with me just putting in an airstone. I wish I never bothered.

 

[Blubble37]

did you bury it undergravel or summat then? i never bother as it stirrs up the gunk too much! you'd be better off just dropping the airstone in and laying it above gravel on the bottom of the tank

omg, 3 more posts and you are a leader of the fishes lol envy strikes down upon thee!

It's only a small one for my Betta who seems to love going in and out of bubbles. Just a little 1 inch stone and it's just under the gravel.

oooohhh never noticed that I'm Leader of the fishes now lol

You're a funny little guy aren't you My new filter is on it's way so I'll have it in there later on. Just gotta get a new pair of tweezers now otherwise my eyebrows will be like bushes lol

 

[Blubble37]

funny, first time i've heard that ever!

Dont bothyer buying a new set of tweezers, just invest in a big hammer to get them out!
