I know UGF is frown upon here but at this point this is what I have so I am stuck until I change.
My air pump is acting up tonight, suddenly got very loud for no apparent reasons. It is a Whisper Tetra 60. I am not sure what is going on. Seems if I only use one outlet and leave the other one open (blowing air into nothing) it quiet down, but if I have two outlets feeding air it gets very loud all of a sudden. I am sick of it and want to switch to another, any recommendations?
Now, as I was playing with the pump and trying to figure out what was wrong I turned up the volume of the air going to the airstone inside the tube of the UGF. I had no idea that would cause a ton of bio waste to shoot up the tube and out into the tank from down below. Am I supposed to have some spongy material inside the UGF to stop this from happening?
