just a guess and if nothing is wrong(health wise), maybe the noise of the pumps are keeping her awake. they dont feed when its that cold so you shouldn't need the filters. just my opinion.

i agree with steveH, i think you might need to take out at least one of the filters....i have a 100gal with a few young sliders in it with 2 300gal filters....i unplugged one and they are all doing great....sometimes i just unplug them both.
