Hello Hobbyists,
Any Foolproof suggestions would be appreciated for my next attempt at refugium. I Built my tank and ordered 2 pond pumps. Then i created 2 waterproof water floats. I was going to have the upwards pump rated at 800 GH on all the time and the floats on the down pump rated same. The flow was higher down than up of course since the up flow seems to slow it down but when the pump turned off it would flow slow enough for up pump to slowly move water level down until Float turned back on. Everything seemed to work and was still running in the morning except 30 gallons of water was on my floor. The up pump was on still and under water still in the bottom tank but no water flow. I think the propeller got jammed! Any suggestion on equipment that will keep that from happening.
