Good morning. At the suggestion of my lfs I set up my D-D complete 20W UV steriliser a few weeks ago in an attempt to defeat the dino problem identified in my small Red sea Max Nano, which has been running for 8 months now. My lfs looked through the microscope & identified ostreopsis . They recommended an Eheim compacton 300 pump to use with the unit. All had been running okay until the last few days, when I have realised the pump has stopped working. I had it apart yesterday & a small bristle worm came out & it started working again. I have noticed again this morning the pump has stopped… I can’t see anything inside the impeller housing so not sure what the problem is. Could it be the pump is not powerful enough ? The UV Sterilizer is set up by the side of the tank as I don’t have a cabinet underneath housing sump etc. I will attach a photo of setup… I appreciate it’s not the most attractive but I have got it to do the job required. i would appreciate any thoughts/ideas/help. Thanks
