Hey everyone, last night I turned off my return pump for feeding, and it wouldnt turn back on.I dismantled the beast to see if anything was jammed in there, no luck. When the unit is dry/out of water it will turn on.

As soon as I submerge it -- it will not turn on. I think its the GFI inside the unit tripping (I got it to turn on once, I then turned it off -- connected the hoses to it and tried again with no luck.)

Is there anything I can do short of buying a new one to get it going again?

I used 2 power heads with plenty of water agitation last night and the fish seem fine.

I have a mag 12 doing something similar. If I turn it off or the power goes out it won't start up either. I have to unplug it and plug it back in a couple of times then it starts up again.
