    I have an aquarium I got totally gunked up and nasty from an old man, the filter worked fine j til recently.
    I thought I mightve jammed the cable and broken something, i couldnt figure out what was wrong, but it suddenly worked again so I left it.
    Today, same thing happened again, I unplugged it and moved it a bit, and it stopped working, no matter what I did, nothing.
    So I google and stumbled upon your video, I tried it out and IT WORKED!
    The propeller was jammed up by some gunk, cleaned it and now it fine, THANK YOU so much!!
    I usually never comment on tutorials etc, but yours was short, clear and straight to the point, this deffinitly deserves some recognition and appreciation! ❤️

    Wow this actually worked. Thank you very much! I had the filter that came with the Top Fin 3.5 gallon tank and it did not work when plugged in out of the box. I pulled the housing off to see the part you described and replaced it and plugged it in and it now works as it should. Amazing thank you for the helpful video. I gave a thumbs up and subscribed.

  • @christinasamalia
    @christinasamalia Před rokem

    After 6 videos, yours brought 1 tiny detail more and that simple detail was the answer to my problem. The little fan (propeller) comes out and should spin when it's in its little hole. Mine was stuck, completely and when you said you could feel yours is a little gunked up, I knew i should give mine a little force spin. I could feel it was jammed with sand! 😂 I could feel the grinding. The other guys just showed the propeller and said to clean it. I'm so happy now! And I fixed it myself...with your help! 😆 Thank you so much!

  • @clueless9242

    Thank you so much for this video you have helped me to save the lives of many guppies in the middle of the night after I was stressing about buying a new tank and how many were going to lose their battle overnight - I took the filter out and cleaned the whole unit with a toothbrush but without this tutorial I wouldn’t have gotten to the solution with the fan as quickly so thank you from myself and also on behalf fish an ocean away from yourself!!

  • @teer9269
    @teer9269 Před 4 lety +2

    I needed help; came across this video and it saved my day! The guidance was clear enough to point out where to find my issue. I have a small TetraCare tank, after a water change the filter would not start. Since my filter is small there is not a hidden compartment to clean. I found that my issue was with the filter cartridge, the cartridge had residue on it that needed to be cleaned. This was helpful, thanks a bunch!!

    • @deefishkeeper2019
