Urgent Help

Hi guys

I have a fluval 405 filter on my tank, I have just cleaned it all and switched it back on, it filled with water ok etc but when i switched it on it aint comming out the out pipe and the filled is making a kind of grindling noise. Everything is how i normally do it. Can any one suggest what might be wrong or have you had the same problem with this filter ever?

Open it up... maybe rocks or a fish stuck in there?

Sounds like you didn't prime it right. Does it sound like it's cavitating?
