Hello, and I would like to first apologize if this is not in the correct area, I'm unfamiliar with how the forum is set up.
Now to my problem, I have a semi-juvenile (he is 7-8 inches from 3-4 inches when I got him) axolotl that I've had for a little over a month, and he is in a 20L gallon tank, with a Fluval 206 canister filter and a Coralife 1/10 HP chiller attached to it, and everything has been running fine up until this morning. I woke up quite early to a very large buzzing/ vibrating noise coming from the chiller, which is generally just a dull hum, as I also have a air purifier on high in my room.
The chiller has adequate space for airflow, and the filter provides enough flow to meet just a smidge above the minimum requirements for GPH flowing through the chiller (not optimal, and I would prefer higher, but it is adequate), and I have also taken a can of compressed air and blown the dust out of the chiller's air filter, as well as just a general blow into the chiller's body as to just ensure that nothing was stuck in there, rattling against anything else.
My tank has sand substrate, and all water that goes into the chiller goes through the filter before it enters the chiller, and the filter was cleaned a week ago, with no problems until today.
I've emailed Coralife and am waiting on a response but was wondering if any of the wonderfully knowledgeable people here had any advice to give?
Thank you in advance!
