My pump on my 24gal aquapod isnt working and i dont know how to fix it!!! while i was trying, the top rock fell and i decided to redo my rock
i like it now, but the water isnt clear and one of the ricordea polyps has a white coat over the top and is keeping it from opening!!!

then i saw a huge 6-8" worm with red spriped crawl under the sand
i am really nervous cause i dont know what to do, or if im going to loose my ricordea....

The ricordia probably slimed because of stress from the rockfall ... it should be okay. The worm sounds like a bristleworm, unless you see it bothering corals I'd consider it a good addition to the clean up crew.

You need to make sure that the tank is properly oxygenated.

I DO I DO

The magnetic propellar inside of the pump needs to be reset. You need to open the power pump, pull the propellar out, reinsert it, make sure the pint alines with the housing. Click it back together, and try it again.
I had to do this to my ehiem canister today.

Or you can use this as an opportunity to buy a new PH for it. If you can head down to the LFS and get a Maxi900 or something like that.
