My aqua clear 70, on my 50 gallon tank, is giving me problems. Most of the time, it has air stuck in the intake tube, though it still flows. When i manage to get the air out of the tube, with much fiddling, every once and a while it lets out this ear splitting grinding shrieking noise. Ive had this niose problem with another aqua clear 70, and it wouldent stop, so i brought it back to my LPS, and they gave me a new one. Its been about four months, and now this one is starting with this. Ive just taken it apart and cleaned the motor, the propellor and the magnetic part. Well see if this helps.
If it starts up again, im going to canister. The tank is in my bedroom, so the noise is very noticeable. I know the common brands for canister are Fluval, and Ehiem, though im not sure which one to grab. Or which size either. I am trying to research, but i work two jobs and go to school, and i have almost zero time to sleep, let alone research!
So im hoping you guys can help me out.
What would you reccomend? Pros/cons?
