Will my saltwater fish die overnight with a broken pump2007-11-24 23:44:28
I have a 6 gal nano cube and the pump seems to have broke. It won't push any water and I'm worried about the fish making it 24hrs. What do you guys think?
Answers:Depends on what you have in the tank. There is probably going to be some die-off of your live rock when you start it up again, so watch out for ammonia spikes. Keep the lights off in your tank and stir it up a bit every now and then. Dismantle the pump and see if the impeller is jammed.

24 hours shouldn't be a problem, but much more, the ammonia will start to build up to toxic levels.
I think you should be alright especially if you have some sort of aerator, something to make bubbles in the water to maintain oxygen
Like the others said, 24hrs should be safe for your fish. But definitely replace the filter ASAP.
no more them 24 hrs if you go more then that nitrit and other will rise
make sure when you fix the pump you use the old filter media as there is still a lot of good bacteria in there. I would also suggest a 25% water change to get rid of the ammonia build up.
