Wierd sound

[love The Jack Dempseys]

My penguin filter is making a wierd grinding noise, i took it apart as much as possible cleaned it then let it dry and tried to shake out the sand that was probably in it, a couple days back i poured sand in the tank and forgot to turn the filter off(wasent thinking). its really starting to piss me off. Im 10 min away from buying a new one

you can clean it and add a prefilter on the intake of the suction tube.

Broke it down and cleaned out the impeller

I've found that one grain of sand can accomplish that sound... yeah, literally one frickin grain! GL..
