XP2000 Issues

kels · Mar 31, 2011

Every time i turn it off when i do a water change the skimmer stops working and if it does then it blows little air bubbles out of the exiting pipe can anyone help me out of what i can do to fix this?

Are you running carbon in front of the skimmer in your sump? When doing a water change, the water is generally much cleaner than regular tank water, so a foam head won't build up immediately a lot of times.

How long does it take to get back to normal?

it usually never does and i am running carbon before it, i used to just take the pump apart and it would go back to normal. But this time i did that it did not go back to normal.

I have had the same issue with the 3000. I usually just take it aprt to double check everything spinning frrely(no snails, etc). Then repeatedly unplug it until it works.

if your pump doesn't have modle number on pump these had a timming issue. coralvue sent me a new pump because of this.

I know that Jeremy readily checks their sponser forums on RC, or you could the use the contact us on their website. I have his email, but rather not give it out unless he ok'ed it. You could also PM through RC as well.

They have a number on their contact page, I have called and gotten help. The lady I spoke to when had problems didn't seem very familiar with their products but I got a replacement pump in about a week. Ph: 985-781-9078

That's nice, I remember years back when when their customer service was viewed as a bit iffy. Could the pumps prop just be getting stuck.. when was it last cleaned? Granted this is a complete shot in the dark. ;)

I hope my xp2000 dont do this. I havent ever had a problem with coralvue though. So hopefully this isnt the first!
