Hello reefers,
I'm in need of help. Just came back to Marine aquarium for abt 3months after a super long hiatus. Had start up a simple FOWLR nano tank using Jebo Hang-On filter with surface skimmer.
Only recently around 5-7days ago, I started to notice my Hang-On filter behaving funnily. The motor tends to stop suddenly and I hv to kinda knock or shake on the motor for it to start up again. Having check all connections, it looks secure n came to a conclusion that my Hang-On filter is spoilt. Now comes the problem:
1) Is it ok to jus change to a new Hang-On filter and jus transfer the biohome n filter media(washed n cleaned) to the new filter??
2) Do I need to start cycling process again due to the new Hang-On filter??
3) Since I do not hv a spare tank, will it affect my LS (2x common clown, 1x six-lined wrasse, 1x cleaner shrimp n 1x turbo snail) during the change-over or cleaning of the new Hang-On filter in future??
Appreciate all constructive (or un-constructive) inputs and advices from anyone......afterall I'm here to re-learn everything
