Bevo5 Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Setting up a 180 that has been sitting in my garage. It's a freshwater tank and I'm using a giant EHEIM 2262 filter. I plug it in and it's dripping out of a spot that I know just needs a new O-ring. So I unscrew it, put the new O-ring in (I've got spares) and I'm tightening it up when I remember I forgot a bracket. So I reach in to untighten the pump cover it and turn it the wrong way.....over tightening it. Aaaannnndd....that's when I broke the pump cover. $10 piece of plastic that will now take 5 days to get to me. So no new tank this weekend. Just venting. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exodus Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 That sucks!!! 😞 Lucky this didn't happen while the tank was already up and running. This is a good example of why you might want to consider having a cheap one laying around just in case of an event like this to have another part on hand. I'm sure if you put up a post someone on the forums has an extra one laying around that can get you through for 5 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
