Hi guys,
Ive had my top fin beginners 10 gal tank for 2 weeks or so now and my filter that came with the kit is no longer working for some reason. I do have sand as my substrate and was wondering if this could cause it to clog. There was sand in the filter well and the well for the intake tube but i have since rinsed it out and it is still not working. When i plugged it back in after refilling the wells with water, the energizer sounded like it was working, but no water is flowing back into the tank. Im at a loss...
I also had an airstone next to the intake tube, dont know if that would have any effect.
Again in regards to sand, i did my first cleaning the other day and accidentally stirred up alot of sand, so i thought that may have had something to do with the filter not functioning properly
