Sometimes when you clean the filters the propeller moves a bit and then it doesn't work as it should anymore. Just try to take everything apart (clean it at the same time) and assemble it again and see if it works. Should work. Don't waste money on something that you probably can fix yourself...

Give it a try & tell us what happened. http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/s8xi5heh/my_photos http://www.geocities.com/s8xi5heh/classic_blue.html http://groups.yahoo.com/group/buzaqq/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com

They might have spare parts for what you already have. Could save you some money. Before you criticize someone walk a mile in their shoes. That way you're a mile away and you have their shoes.
