I am setting up the 225 tank and it is 1:30 a.m. I bought a used Iwaki MD55RLT off of Reef Central. It arrived with the cord cut off and only a portion remaining.

I bought a 14 gauge, 15 amp, 125volt power cord and wired it to the wire sticking out of the pump. Plugged it in tonight after plumbing it and nothing happened. I unscrewed the black box, clipped off the old cord and wired it directly and still nothing happened.

Does anyone have an external pump rated around 1200 gph with 1" MPT outlet/inlet that I can borrow until I find a permanent solution? We have a huge gathering at our house on Friday night and I really want this thing running by then.

Thanks a ton. I would prefer you be in Austin as I probably won't have time to drive to SA before Friday.
