Default something freaky
Okay last night me and the hubby were cleaning the bulb cover for our tank. the lights were already off. Well all the sudden my aquaclear powerhead started making this weird chattering noise and my dining room light flickered! I immdiately unplugged this powerhead and I am replacing it tonight with the Koralia powerhead #1. My hubby thinks something got stuck in the impeller and caused it to work overboard therefore causing the light flickering. Needless to say I am not taking any chances and it is going in the garbage!

Just thought I'd tell this little story.
