Hello all! I'm brand new here and kinda new to the hobby and have a filter question!
I had to buy a new filter because my 20 gallon Aqueon filter gave up the ghost, and it would often stop and I would have to move the propeller to get it started again.
I replaced it with the same kind of filter, which within the hour stopped working and required that I move the propeller again. It kept getting harder and harder to get it to restart and frustrated, I got a different brand of filter - a top fin 20 gallon filter.
Now it's doing the same thing! I have to take the pump out and put it back in to start it again, and it does this around every two hours.
Am I doing something wrong? What is going on? Thank you for reading!
