I have a 75 gallon tank with two Penguin 350s. Eventually both filters started making this wretched noise after having them on the tank for a couple months. I tried to vaseline the impellet that never fixed anything. The only fix has been to pull up on the intake tube out of the electric impeller insert to get the noise to stop but eventually it falls back down to due to gravity and starts making the noise. I have the same filter on my 55 gallon which has never had a single issue but for some reason the two on my 75 are making the noise. Ive been getting so sick of it so earlier this week i went and bought an Aqueon 75 and put it on the tank. Everything was working great that night then the next day i wake up and it isnt even working. It was plugged in, making zero noise and not operating at all, while every other filter/light/heater on my tank was working fine. Everything is in the same outlet/protector. Even the penguins were working.
At this point I returned it to the store and came back with another thinking it was just a bad egg, and i had a gift card so i got another one because i want a lot of filtration since its a 75 with 2 Oscars. So now i have Two Penguin 350s and two Aqueon 75s on my tank. Everything was working fine i left my house for 2-3 hours and i come home to see neither aqueon working, and now one of my penguins not working, its on making an electric noise but not sucking any water at all. The aqueons are plugged in not making a peep, no electric movement or noise whatsoever like they arent plugged at all. And last but not least the other penguin (the only filter working at this point) has begun making that annoying impeller noise again. The light, heater, and aerator are all working normally. I checked the outlet for every piece individually and the outlet seems to be working fine its just the filters not working. So im gonna have to return both of my brand new aqueons i bought today that arent working? Im 0/3 on them working for more than 24 hours. Ive never had any other problems with smaller models of the Aqueons. I dont know what to do now.
