Last night my little giant return pump died on my 180gal tank. I came up with temporary solution to use a submersible pump to return the water from the sump to the tank. I am looking to see if these can be fixed, or do I have to get a new pump?does anybody have a large enough pump for sale? I have a 2 return setup that was using 1 pump.

I should also mention I cleaned the pump out and the impeller there wasn't much gunk in there at all but I still removed it anyway.

my little giant stopped working out of no where once. The housing was tweeked stopping it from spinning.

Mine stopped but that was because I didn't keep enough oil in it so it seized up. I'm still saving enough to get it fixed for a backup pump.
