I have a Penguin 150 and just today switched tanks. As soon as I switched it, the filter immediately stopped working. I started moving the intake around and it started working again, but now it stops taking in water almost hourly and I have to loosen or tighten the intake again to get it working. Has anyone had this problem before? I'm afraid to go to sleep.

Maybe try to re-seat the impeller? I know mine made a bunch of noise (I have a Penguin 100) and then would slow down and I pulled out the impeller and put it back in straight and it worked. Does it make any noise?

Ya, sometimes it sounds like it's struggling to turn and then stop. I will def. try that! Thank you so much

Ya. I did it like an hour ago and it's fine now

I'm glad it works now!

Yea, I think the penquins have 'wiggle room' that can cause that to happen sometimes.
