Christyef Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 . This is my salt water barrel in my mixing station. Smells like burnt plastic. [emoji31]. What is it? Is the can trash? To be on the safe side, probably. Ugh! Always something Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juiceman Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Clean it the vinegar and a sponge. Then maybe fill it with Tap water and run you power head in it and see if it does it again?Mine gets dirty but it doesn’t smell like burnt plastic. That would lean me towards a bad pump or heater.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christyef Posted September 13, 2018 Author Share Posted September 13, 2018 Someone on FB also suggested bad pump. I’ve pulled them both out and they’re soaking in vinegar. I’ll take them apart and see if there is damage. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christyef Posted September 13, 2018 Author Share Posted September 13, 2018 Pump failure was the culprit. So glad I don’t have those in my tank anymore. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoneroller Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 I'm about done with hydor koralias for reef tanks. Two of mine won't spin in the right direction or won't even start without a twist then the power fades away. Cleaned thoroughly, no luck. They are a couple of years old. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christyef Posted September 13, 2018 Author Share Posted September 13, 2018 I have ecotech in my tank. Thank god. I couldn’t imagine the horror of coming home to my tank covered in the Exxon Mobil spill. [emoji33][emoji33].
