so, i recently bought two used 2026 filters for 2 of my tanks. i've been having a bit of an issue with the one for my 55 gal. when i initially set it up and got it running, it ran fine and well with no problems. super quiet and awesome. when i did a water change about a week or so later, i unplugged it and when i plugged it back in, it made this terrible rattling and there was no water flow. i shook it and nothing. shook it again and nothing. i took it apart and pulled out the impeller, everything looked fine and well. when i hooked it back up, same problem. took it apart again and again and ended up breaking the ceramic shaft. ordered another from big al's and just got it, put it back together and it's still doing the same thing.
can anyone tell me what the problem might be? it was fully primed and ready to go every time i've tried to start it up...
