Oh dear .....
1. If at all possible have your aquarium return pump on it's on circuit.
That's a no.
2. Plug your return pump directly into the electrical outlet. Don't use a power strip or even an aquarium controller.
Also a no (though there is method to my madness).
3. Clean your return pump regularly to keep it running smoothly and efficiently!
Once every 5 years IS regularly .... just not frequently.
4. Make sure the return intake of your pump isn't restricted.
Agreed
5. KEEP A SPARE PUMP FOR AN EMERGENCY!
Yes sir!
