Got home from one night away and my fluval is dead. It wasn't spinning and when I unplugged it the unit was very hot. I know, I know, before any of you tell me how bad a fluval is and how I should really be running a real sump let me explain, it's only a 50 gallon tank and money has been tight. So I've been running this Fluval 303 that I got for $30 from a fish store that was clearing out the "old" model when the 304 became the new thing. It's only about a year old. I've got the head unit in the freezer right now to bring the temp down and hopefully shrink the impeller enough to remove it (did I forget to mention the impeller is frozen in it's little hole?). I don't think the impeller will spin again so my question:
Can you force feed a fluval with the impeller out (or even in for that matter) with a decent power head style pump????
