I have a aqua tech filter I'm using for a 5G. They ripped me off they said was 10G and everything was working and never used they lied about all. It started working when I plugged in but not now:/ added water to it to! When I plugged it it actually just made a weird noise and stopped when I added the water. Clueless now!

Oh geez, that sucks! I did the same with a different aqueon filter think, and it's broken. So it doesn't make any noise at all, or turn on?

No it doesn't make any noise anymore :/ if I buy a new one what might be the cost?
 
Are you sure it was primed (if necessary). I know a motor can go bad if being ran without a load of water.

I will try again but these people lied about everything and gave me a broke heater so I bought one of those today! My paycheck is gone since I wasted my money on this tank:/
