Today my fluval 2 biolife filter suddenly stopped, there was a small noise from it but no water was being pumped. I took it off to the new lfs near me which so far has really impressed me, he informed me that it was burnt out and put in a new little water wheel bit because the old bit flies off everytime it spins due to overuse I think.
Anyway this tank has only been up a year and my other tanks haven't had this despite being set up longer. Is it a common and frequent thing which needs replacing every year or two? Cheers.
p.s. sorry for no technical terms but I don't know them

water wheel, first time i ever heard it called that! my lfs has loads of impellers, no idea how often they should be changed, no idea how to break one yet! ( there is always a first lol) by the by, if you take out your impeller to clean it dont loose the black bung if yours has one lol! they can boing around the room!
