I haven't posted in a while because everything has been going well. The filter is cleaning the tank well now. I'm feeding spots less, and she seems to be growing more! Not sure how that works. My question today about the filter is that every few minutes, ir will randomly stop. The water in the flow bar will either falter for justmamsecond, or a few seconds, and then keep going, then it will stop a few minutes later, then start again. I haven't timed it but the longest time it's stopped has not been more than a minute, maybe. It's been doing this since I cleaned it, which was way back when I was having problems with it not keeping the tank clean. So I don't think it's buildup anywhere. Maybe it's air in the tubes? I don't know, has anyone had this issue?
There is buildup in the tubes that I can see. Should I be cleaning them, and if so how, and how often?
Tonight when I came down, spots didn't seem very active, so I checked the temp, and the water did feel cold. The tank is in our finished basement, so it's a little chilly down here when the air is on. I turned the heater up, and she seems more active now, but she's also been hanging out near the heater, warming up. It's 79 in there now. I fed her, but she's not eating. Hoping she'll eat when she warms up.
