My used ac300 is very noisy. Should I get a new impeller? How do I know its the impeller that's making the noise and not the motor?

I have bacteria growing not only on the bio wheel, but also on the sponge. That is a crumby way to loose fryThe bio-wheel dried out and I lost almost all of my bacteria. There was an ammonia spike and I lost a whole spawn of 1 month old fry

I was away for the weekend, there was a power outage. The bio-wheel dried out and I lost almost all of my bacteria. There was an ammonia spike and I lost a whole spawn of 1 month old fry

Then your tank and filter defied the laws of fluid dynamics and somehow drained the AC filter to a lower water level than the tank
