Hello all, I’m leaving for 4 days on Thursday and just two days ago my sponge filter and air pump started making a loud, rickety noise and my sponge filter stopped producing bubbles. I looked up what to do and nothing worked so I ordered a hygger air pump and double sponge filter (old one was top fin). I read both instructions and did what I was supposed to, and nothing. I went to petco today and got a tetra whisper air pump and still, nothing. I think it is something to do with the sponge filter but I have everything connected, nothing is loose or broken, the check valve is on correctly, and there are no kinks in the airline at all. Pls help 🙏

    probably airpump broken

    can you just put tubing in the water to make sure it’s making bubbles?
    There are times when sponge filter loses suction, but rarely ever not making bubbles.
