Eureka! I just found this suggestion online and it has solved it! Water is flowing great again. Practical Fishkeeping Forum - View Single Post -...
Cleaned everything out. I'm getting about 200lph. Beginning to seriously think the problem is air. Now that the pipes have been cleaned out with...
Ive cleaned the head out in small stages. This afternoon, in desperation I took the entire head apart and cleaned everything. The head unit has...
I appreciate that it is only 600lph but this is a slow down over a few days. The inlet used to produce enough flow that the Danios would swim in...
Hi Guys. Good news and bad news. I called to place my order and was told that they had found one for me. Rushed off to get it and replaced....
Actually, looking at that image I realise now that I don't have a bottom rubber. The inner shaft just slides out. And the impeller "blades" sit...
This is the item I understand I'd be getting which looks to include the inner shaft. [IMG]
Im going to assume stainless steel. It's a metal of some sort. :) Glad to hear replacing impeller made the noises go away. I'm going to place the...
I've given the entire head unit a good clean. No change. Flow is still slow. Impeller "looks" okay, but to be honest I'm not 100% sure what I'm...
Thanks @Reedfish. I'll pull it out this evening and have a look. I have until Monday afternoon to order to get it on Wednesday.
Looks like the only LFS who can (or is willing to help) is Aquatic Vision in Brackenfell. Gonna order from them. They reckon I'll have it by...
Thanks @Jwh. I'll keep that in mind.
Hi Guys, I have a tetratec ex 600 canister filter that was generously donated to me by my uncle. It's been running for about two weeks, but I've...
Unfortunately, I'm holding off adding shrimp at the moment. Having some issues with water quality. Got hold of a canister filter this afternoon....
Looking good.
Ahh. Would love to see it in action when you have it setup. Would you be able to post a short video once its up and running? Really interested.
Thanks @netlf. That is how I have always understood a overflow box to work. Now the one that you purchased, I'm not sure if it's the angle, I...
Excuse my ignorance, but how would that work? Overflows I have seen have a pipe between with no air. This looks different.
I've been slowly cleaning out my old tank over the last week. A little bit every day. Today was time to empty out the sump. Water has been...
Thanks guys. I may have just missed that sale. @Mark K, if you could send me a pm with those details it would be greatly appreciated.
