just moved 75 lbs of live rock, and around 20 corals into my 125 (im using the light that was on my 55 for a few days) all the corals are in the center to make sure they get enough light. All opend within 5 minutes of being in the tank.
i finally caught the royal gamma, and added the bicolor blenny from the 55. Next will probley be my one clown left over from the 55 and probley another clown since they are on sale tommarow (50% off SW fish every month on the 31 , only months that go to 31 days)

well its really not a LFS, its more of a FAFS (far away fish store).Its in rochester which is like a 3 hour dirve, and my mom is envolved in a clinical study thing, so she has to go to rochester 3 times a year, and the next time is the 23rd, so since im off of school then i finally get to go to The Reef Shoppe again!!!

sounds like the impeller is stuck. probably a bit os sand particles in side if you can take the impeller out you can flush it with clean water. most pumps come apart. then put impeller in and turn it manually. the magnets inside might make it only turn around a click or two this is normal. put it all back together and try again.
