HOBs stalling?
Posted about this a bit ago but didn't get anything helpful and it's happening again. I have 2 brand new AC30s running on my 10 and 20g. i have had nonstop issues with them randomly stalling in the night and waking up to a cloudy tank and the impeller motor being hot to the touch. am i doing something wrong? the intake is at the bottom of both tanks with a clean prefilter sponge, im using the little black spacer thing to keep it straight, im priming it every time and still it's continually stalling. Ive taken apart the entire motor and impeller and its not debris, its not power since i can still hear it running when stalled and it gets hot. I have 2 sponge filters coming for other tanks but i think after i get them cycled im just gonna replace the HOBs because they are pissing me off. i tried warranty and they said they'd send another one but i don't want that if it's gonna be the same thing.
Has this happened to anyone else and does anyone have any idea why?
