Habitat - Indoor :: Fluval 406 problem-may be dangerous

[Skippah]

I got a 406 for my 55 gallon tank and... its making buzzing and snapping noises. i tried adding water to the tank, its at max. water lever on my atbp. please help. my dad gets angry if its off.

Is it hooked up to a GFCI? I think I would stop using it. Sounds electrical!!!

[Skippah]

It. Is connected to a gfci waterproof powerstrip. It stopped making the poppingy noise and now the very annoying filter rumble.

[butterflygirl921]

sounds like the motor blew I had another brand filter and that noise happened when the motor blew apart. I would honestly start there and see what happens

[Skippah]

The filter is running the water is moving and there's no airstone or anything

[butterflygirl921]

If there's no air bubbles then I would say the motor it can go bad and still be pumping water it could be on the verge of blowing apart that's the only times I've heard that noise being described

[Kansasslider]

Have you looked at the impeller ?

[Skippah]

I will loook at it today I've only had it 2 weeks

[Kansasslider]

Bummer!

[Skippah]

its fine and its working now.

[Kansasslider]

Any idea what it was?

[Skippah]

uh.. water level? maybe?

[Skippah]

i made an egg crate thingy with an ATBP and the water is high.

[Kansasslider]

Could be I've heard stranger things.

[Skippah]
