joshuapd Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 No power or heat in NE PDX for last 7 hours. Tank temp has fallen to 71. I've resorted to putting tea candles on top of sump to warm bottom of tank. Yikes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paratore Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 My tank has gotten down to 65 and bounced back. Just remember to bring the temp up slowly. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaywood Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 I did saran wrap on the top to hold in heat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joshuapd Posted December 10, 2016 Author Share Posted December 10, 2016 Power back up???Just now. But of course, I knocked my return pump adaptor into the sump while messing around in the dark. So now return pump isn't working [emoji37] Don't suppose anyone has one of these laying around? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bevo5 Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 What is the pump that goes to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshuapd Posted December 10, 2016 Author Share Posted December 10, 2016 What is the pump that goes to? Jebao DCS-5000 1320GPH Submersible Pump with Controller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshuapd Posted December 10, 2016 Author Share Posted December 10, 2016 What is the pump that goes to? Amazon is sending me a replacement which should get here on Monday. (I merely asked for the adaptor but I guess they're replacing the whole pump). I said I damaged it... but ok. Gotta love that company. 3 days of sump being offline should be ok I would think...

Bevo5 Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 (edited) I've got a spare jabao 12000 new in box if that will help you out...but I agree that as long as you've got circulation and heat in the tank you'll be fine with no sump for a few days.

Zoolander Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 If you need a spare pump until Monday, holler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
