jenna Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 That's about it. Woke up just now and our tank isn't draining into the sump. The power is still on but we can't figure out why water won't drain. Ideas?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenna Posted October 18, 2012 Author Share Posted October 18, 2012 Just took out the in-tank plumbing to check for clogs and there is nothing, but as soon as we removed it the tank started draining again. We replaced the plumbing and it quit draining once again... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arminius Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Snail in the works? Back siphon? Air vent clogged? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I need to type this since I am sure you are thinking the same but figuring what caused the problem so it does not happen again would be my first order. Maybe its not as big of a deal if its not plumbed how I picture it but, I picture a sump pumping its contents into a display that is not draing and 40 gallons (or my case 100) spilling onto the floor and a pump running dry and potentially catching fire-. But thats how I think-(nutty) Plan for the worst (scary) and expect the best-(clap) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
