My Fluval Aquaclear 70 motor rattles and makes noise pretty loudly after about 2 years. I can take the prop out and clean it, but it only stays quiet for a day at most. I suspect that fish are kicking up sand, and that's getting in there junking it up. But like I said, I ran the filter for two years now and haven't had a problem. I've though about shortening the down stem, but I like the waters intake low in the tank.
Any advice on how to clean out/quiet the prop? Thanks in advance.
