Last night while I was reading in bed I all of a sudden heard a loud clacking-rattling type sound. I traced it down to the 10G's HOB. I unplugged it and removed the cover so I could try to re-seat the impeller and, shining a flashlight into it see if there was some sort of obstruction, I found one of my Nerite snails in the section with the impeller well  ! Removed him...and he's doing fine. |

Glad you figured this out quickly!
Often the cause is a stray piece of carbon

I'm pretty sure my guy crawled up the outflow ("waterfall" base, or whatever you call it, on the Whisper HOB)  . |
