Unplug and plug back in is a easy try.

There is a good chance that you're sucking in air. On my FX5, it happens if the water level goes below where the flexible intake is attatched to the intake tube. The canister starts humming and the output shoots out micro bubbles. Easy fix, unplug the filter, add some water or put any intake portions exposed to air under the water line, and plug back in. Also, when you unplug the canister, it will purge itself of the air inside it. They're supposed to automatically purge themselves of air every 24 hours, but in that time, the humming and such would still happen, so doing what I suggested above is still a good idea. Hope that helps!

Also make sure you tightened the lid the way they recommend you do.
