water pump
I rearrangd the tank today, to give the two Clowns more places to hide, caves and bridges, but when I was done, the water pump for my skimmer isn't working 
I scrubbed it a bit with my tank toothbrush, but still won't kick in, so afraid I need a new one. . .looked at my reef creations, but had no idea what GPH I needed for the 55 gallon tank
Help?

Could you post a picture if you don't know the name of your skimmer and pump?

of course, you'd ask something I cna't do(Camera died :P)
It's an aqualink, will have to clean up the desk and see if I can find the paperwork tht came ith it. Unplugged it for now. . .so frustrating :P

the skimmer is the aqualink, will scrub up the pump and see if I can find what it is.

previous owner says this thing is finicky, took it apart, cleaned it, the thingie'll spin out of the water, I can feel it humming under the water, but no water is coming out :P
It spins fast out of water, but I submerge it without the top, it slows down. . I'm confused? :P
