I have been posting few posts asking why some zoas, GSP and cloves does not do well while all parameters are good. One post I found suggest look for any contamination, so first i added poly filter in the sump bubble filter area to remove any contamination, second started inspecting all pumps and any metal stuff, I had a maxijet 1200 in sump return, i took it out and replaced with new, no other metal clamps or similar, finally started taking apart Bubblemagus protien skimmer and i found this rust like in the pump (see pic) I beleive it is rust and I also beleive the pump need to be replaced instead of cleaning and re-using them.
Its Bubblemagus Curve 5 Protien Skimmer (amazon cost now is $200) I got this along when i got my tank used, so it could be used for 3 years.
The replacement pump is around $65
What is the best? replace pump!
Please advise, thanks.
FYI:
I also use sicce pump for return which came with the tank as old, should i be inspecting them?
WAV pumps from neptune are a year old and i think it should be ok.
