I can't believe it, this powerhead that runs my reverse UG filter stopped. I don't know if it stopped for a day, week or month, but it stopped.
I don't know why, It is only about 20 years old, I am sure I removed it for cleaning or something maybe 10 years ago but it was all the way behind the rocks and not easy to get to and I could not see it. I just assumed it would work forever like it should.
It just needed a little cleaning out of tube worms. Those things build those glass like shelters in the stupidest places, I mean if you were a tube worm, would you build a home right next to a rotor in a dark, noisy powerhead? Stupid animals.
Anyway, I cleaned it out and it is as good as new and I hope to not have to see it for another ten years, unless more worms move in.

Now that it's cleaned, it probably will
