I picked up a Odyssea CFS4 off eBay a few weeks ago, it arrived and I set it up last week. I was looking to save a few bucks on a supplemental canister for my 125 gal and I had read that these were generally reliable except for occasional issues with the tubing crimping (which I addressed when setting it up). I figured it was worth the $55 shipped to give one a shot.

Anyway, it ran fine for several days. But a couple days ago it just stopped running. I had not made any adjustments or even touched the thing or the tank since I had set it up. Its not doing ANYTHING, like there isn't even power running to it. I checked to make sure there was still power from the outlet and there is. I have sent an email to the guy I bought it from, so we'll see what he says.

Just wanted to see if anyone had a similar experience or may be able to let me know if there is anything I can try to see if it will run again?

No, that's a good place to start though I suppose, I just didnt think that it had run long enough to have "gunk" in there capable of stopping it cold. I'll check at lunch...
 
I went ahead and took a look at the impeller, it appears to be correctly mounted and there was no buildup (cleaned it anyway). Anyone else have an idea or should I just concede that the filter (or the pump anyway) is a dud?
