Worried that noisy filter is distressing fish
#1
Hi all.
Have recently started having probs with my tank filter. its an "elite" one, pretty basic but seems to have always done the job well.
recently though its been incredibly noisy. its like something is slightly catching on the side of the case as it filters, which makes a really irritating buzzing sound even when turned on at its lowest. when its on full, its awful.
Usually have my filter on quite high, and dont like having it so low. Have also had to unstick the filter from the side of the tank as im worried its going to stress the fish out (and its already being treated for popeye so im guessing its delicate) so at the moment its kinda floating on the side, but still very noisy.
Any help?! Thanks :)
