hey guys, any help on this will be greatly appreciated. the filter in my 30 gal is not working well. i got it on october (came with my setup); it's a tetra whisper 30... i know it's not a GREAT filter, but it definitely shouldn't have just broke after 6 or so months... right?
i mean, it WORKS. water is trickling out of it, the motor is fine, but something is stuck or SOMETHING. when the water gets sucked up from the tank, it should go through the filters and come out through the waterfall thing, you know? but some of it is just getting backed up and coming right back down into the tank. also, it's coming out really slow/soft. i've changed the cartridge, and nothing has changed. did something get jammed in it? is it just a piece of junk that needs to be replaced? please help!!!!!!
