Hi all! I have a Tunze Osmolator Universal 3155 Auto Top Off system on my 125 gal reef tank. I've had it for a little over a year and for the most part, it works fine. A couple days ago, I noticed that all of the lights were blinking along with an audible "beep". The pump does not go on and the controller just blinks and beeps. Any help would be appreciated.

Check your pump- pull the impeller and clean it and look for debris in the hole
Sounds like it is stuck or restriction in the return line

Welcome Welcome to R2R!
Use all the advice here always and you'll get it figured out.
I clean all my in sump impellers every other month.
Amazing what you will find. Saves me a ton of hassle and headache later.

Try cleaning the optical sensor and also check the impeller on the pump, but it may just need a reset so try turning it on and off to see if that sorts it out. When it comes back on it will pump some water hopefully

I believe that is the sign of a bad or seized pump. Disconnect the power for the pump and see if it stops. The pump is a sealed unit so you have to replace the pump.

As I recall the pump is polarity sensitive so note which wire goes where.
