Hi,
I have a Fluval Chi, 5 gallons, with one betta fish in it. I've had it so far for 4 months.
The other day when I came to feed my fish, I found that the filter was making this really loud noise! It was so loud that you could here it through the door! I unplugged it and changed the filter pads (because sometimes it makes a spluttering noise if the pads haven't been changed or the water level is too low).
Good news: the noise stopped
Bad news: the filter stopped working.
The filter was just not pumping any water! I took it out and cleaned the motor, which seemed perfectly fine. Still no progress. I took it to the LFS I bought, and they said to 'hit it, and it would start working again'. Made absolutely no progress.
I don't have a filter in my tank, and I need one urgently! Please, any help would be greatly appreciated
