I am curing some rock in Rubbermaid Brute 30 gallon bucket. Yesterday I turned off the electrical strip feeding the skimmer, a Hydor koralia, a Maxijet 1200, and a heater so I can do a complete water change and add a host rock for the next month. I had it running since Nov 21st.
So I fill it back up with water and I notice the skimmer wont turn back on, I check the strip and it's got power, I check the skimmer on a different power source and no power still, and then I notice the same thing on my Koralia. No stray voltage in the water, and the maxijet is working. Check the wires on both, no cuts. I can understand one pump failing, bad luck, but two I need an explanation. I checked the Koralia for build-up nothing and will check the sedra pump for the skimmer.
Anybody know what might have caused 2 pumps to just die after working and the only thing I did was turn them off for a few hours.
