Aquarium Advice Addict
I have a Marineland filter with a biowheel that's quit spinning frequently the past 6 weeks.
I set up the tank early to mid march, cycled it fishless, added fish mid April.
I've tried cleaning the filter, cleaning the intake tube, adding Vaseline to the axle, gently rinsing the wheel itself in tank water, checking that the pleats are looking good ...
Even when the filter box is empty of filter media, it doesn't spin. So far each time it stopped I got it going again but not this time.
I've got it stored in the tank to keep the bacteria alive. Hoping for an answer quick!
