    Hi Louis102

    That is quit strong for a 65l tank but can you tell us more about the tank and the pump itself? Is it a internal power head or a external sump setup? If it is a internal power head how is it positioned in the tank and were is the blower pointing, across the face, across the back wall? Is it on the surface or halfway down? What have you got in the tank besides the fish decor and sand for instance? Provide this kind of info and we can deduce the problem easier for you?

    Also if you fill out this form it will give us a better idea of what's going on in your tank, you will find most of the questions that I have already ask are in this sheet.

    Hi Jason

    The Pump is a resun magi 700, Its Internal. The pump is at the back left hand corner, its positioned straight up, and flat against the stones and blows across the back face of the tank. See below a picture of the tank. The filter in the tank in the picture is the one I replaced with the new one. I also put up a picture of the pump.

    Thank you for the disease questionnare
