How often do you clean your filters, inspect your equipment and do your water changes? __________ "To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism; to steal from many is research." researched from Steven Wright |

It's easy for something to get stuck there or a pest snail to climb up and lodge itself in the wheel. Also if too much junk or plant leaves get stuck to the intake or to the filter pads it slows the water enough to stop the wheels. |
