Did you recently stir up you sand bed or something? It sounds like you got a bunch of debris of some kind floating in the tank. You'll probably actually have to break them down, and take the impellers out. Rinse it all off, and put them back together.

no its from the kalk ive been adding I know, this happens sometimes when the calcuim builds up on them. I took them out and soaked them in water/vinegar to clean them. They are all clean now but the hagens arent working. possibly they got to hot when they locked up? the tank did go up 1 degree

no the pet store owner here told me to bring them in he could try something, I will do that. But it looks like I might be trying one of those new seio pumps after all......
