My cor 20 power brick just went bad. I turned off the pump to do some maintenance then turned it back on and the pump would come back online. The green indicator light doesn’t turn on. This is my main pump for my tank life support. Any ideas? Is there a different power prick that can work temporarily?

Unfortunately that seems to happen occasionally with COR pumps.

Look at the voltage of the power supply- it’s like 24v 100w or something. If you can match something 24v of at least that capacity, you should be able to swap it.

Be careful when looking for a replacement adapter. It's more than matching output voltage. Current output needs to be matched too. Also, you have to know if the plug is "tip positive" or "tip negative".

Is there any circulation going on besides the pump?

Hey guys. Yes, my mp40’s and gyre are working fine. So i still have good water flow. I was able to steal a old rio mixing pump off my mixing station temporarily until I can get a new power supply in. Didn’t know that a simple power supply would be a culprit on a $330 dollar pump
