Cichlid tank pump giving sound

Cichlid tank pump giving sound


After the overhaul cleaning done recently, the pump has become noisy and i think the water level is quite low in the pump area... near to spend time to clean away, could be something clog inside.
Also, saw one cichlid dead body.... i should have been more careful in the cleaning... which i think i should have draw out the IOS dirty water instead of leaving it inside.
Now i realised IOS is just like a oversize canister, bigger space but cleaning is as tough.
I clean the sump tank before one compartment at a time, and it is easier, just suck the water and the residue inside, no cleaning of the rest.

One peacock cichlid lay dead on the sand base.... quite big one... sad.... i suspect the overhaul maintenance is too rough... next time have to draw out the IOS water as well when i do another overhaul cleaning.
