Return Pump for Sump

[Dozer]

The more I read, the more I am interested and would like to learn.

That is a great attitude to have in this hobby and will lead you to success if you stick with it! Keep asking questions and reading as much as you can- here and at reefcentral. Learn from the experience of others (especially when starting out) rather than wasting your own time and money when you don't have to!

Soooooo very true. I started saving money when I joined Maast.org after a year into the hobby.

Okay, my wife brought the sump home last night. It looks like just the plug is burned out. I will go to home depot and buy a grounded plug and replace this evening and try it out.

Darth-Tater bought a fish from us last night and gave us some great advice on how to set it up.

This might be a dumb question, but can I test the pump out of water just to make sure it runs (I know I will have to submerse it to check to see if it pump water)?

Thanks.

you can test dry very briefly, but if you run it very long at all, it will cause excessive wear on the impeller magnet.
