Got to love the internet.
Besides Luca the dog I'm also taking care of two fish for friends. It doesn't take much work; feed them once a day and rinse the sponge thingie in the filter of the pump once a week. I rinsed the sponge just now and put it back into the pump but it didn't do anything when I plugged it back in. A quick Google search turned up the advice to give the pump a good smack because sometimes the rotor got stuck. And indeed, it worked! I was already panicking on where to get a new pump. It's even a bit quieter now than it was before.
