I thought I'd read one time to turn your return pump off for a 1/2 hour every day to give it a rest. Is this true or not? Thanks in advance, HAT
i've never heard that. Mine just gets turned off when I do water changes.....
Every now and then the little hamster that spins the wheel inside needs a break! Seriously though, I don't think you need to worry about giving your pump a break. Most of the time when people shut electronics off from running full time its because they have the potential to overheat. Your pump has water going through it so I don't think overheating will be a problem. Some people turn their pumps off during feeding so this is where you may have gotten this idea.
Agreed. I only turn it off to feed my reef, which is every night for 15 minutes. It keeps the food in the display and out of my sump, allowing the livestock to eat it all.
Thank y'all for the info!
I do the same as Melev, just turn it off for 15 to 20 minutes when I feed the tank.
Thank ya Phil for the info!
