Eau.......just want to check something please

i w/c the big tank this morning & cleaned the impellor.....it's gone kaput! tbh i knew it was going to go at some point.

i've swapped mature media from the big filter into the spare but that's only big enough for 150l capacity really.

so........reduce water level to 150l or w/c more often than weekly until i get a new impellor?

Oh bugger! I wouldn't reduce the water level, just keep the filter running and replace it with a bigger one as soon as you can. Keep an eye on the levels and do more changes if you need to. How long was the filter off for, do you know?

yep, bugger was one of the words i made use of

it was only off for just over an hour while i did their weekly wc. just very frustrating.

dp has been fiddling, he can get it going out of the water but as soon as it goes in it dies again

it'll be mid next week before i can replace it so will keep a close eye until then. just wasn't sure whether to reduce water level while the smaller filter's in
