Hi All,
So someone this morning, my AC 30 apparently just decided to stop working. I couldn't get it to restart (cleaned the impeller area and the sponge) and had to temporarily put another filter on the tank.
Problem is, this is the third time my AC 30 has given me problems on this particular tank, and I've only had the tank up for a couple months. I like the AC 30 and I thought they were fairly reliable, could I be doing something wrong? Generally, the problem occurs when I am trying to start the filter back up after a water change. However, this time, it happened on its own.
I have an AC 70 on my 20 gallon and it has never had a problem -- works great.
Anyone want to throw out any ideas? Do I need to do anything different to keep an AC 30 running than an AC 70? Is there something in the tank thats messing the filters potentially?
Thanks for everyones help.
