so, I have had my tank set up for about a week now, I am running to Whisper 10-30i filters in my 29 gallon fresh water tank that is currently fish in cycling.
for the first week these filters were great and lived up to their name, they were whisper quiet, this morning I woke up and one of the filters has gotten quite loud literally over night, for a lack of a better description it is almost making a grinding noise,
is this normal and something that is to be expected? currently my tank sits flush against the wall, so a different filter that hangs outside the tank is out of the question, I am considering possibly switching over to a canister filter in the next month or 2 at some point if money allows, but even that could be challenging to set up based on the fact my tank is flush against the wall.
anyway, has anyone else had this problem with the whisper 10-30i ? is there anything I can do to quiet it down?
