HELP - filter acting weird?

[djryan2000]

I just did a water change and when I turned the filter (Fluval 106) on again it's sounding weird and spitting out what works like very salty water occasionally. I can't tell if this is water full of salt or not yet. Here's a video: https://youtu.be/HbZDRonYvH4

Probably just air in it..coming out as microbubbles at times...
Not sure what brand you have but often it will clear on its own or may need to be opened/filled with water or whatever its priming process in the manual is

I turned it off and on again and it stopped the issue. I think you were right. I originally thought (panicked) it could be salt and not air because my hydrometer was reading very high salinity near where the bubbles came out. No clue why.. guess they threw off the reading or something. Thanks!

Any air bubbles in a hydrometer will cause it to read incorrectly as the bubbles will cause the arm to raise higher..
