anyone keeping spare return pump?

Hi all, as above.

juz wondering, is there really a need to do that? you can get a new pump any day of the week from lfs unless you are using a pump where stock availability is an issue.

I don't think the fish/corals will have any problems surviving in the tank without a return pump. I think my tunze and m820 should provide enough aeration/circulation for them...

So I am the weird guy keeping a spare AquaBee 3000 pump for return as well as for the chiller including Eheim hose, piping, ball valves, etc ....

it might not be a good idea to stop the return from sump for more than 6hrs ..
good bacterial will die off if no oxygen
