Hi all.
Just wondering of anyone has Had flow problems with any of the pro3e range. I've only had this particular filter running on my tank for about a month ish. I hadn't paid any particular attention to the flow as the outlet is completely under water anyway and from having an fx5 I wasn't expecting a tornado anyway. However, I've just put on a 2080 now, which is rated at 1700litres an hour with out media, where as the 2078 is rated at 1850, and the 2080 is like a tornado in comparison.
I've checked everything in the 2078x impeller etc, no loops or kinks etc and the flow even on manual turned up is no way near the 2080. I also Plummed in a am1000 reactir to the 2078 not long after and it's just like tipping water from the kettle. No force to the flow at all.
I've emailed the eheim servicing place in the uk. Who have asked me to send off the pump head to have it looked at but obviously want my other filter to seed first before turning the other off. Any ideas?
Media in it is
2 bottom trays mech pro
Next tray bio mech
Tip tray substrate pro then white pad on top
Anyone suffered similar. It's not even pushing flow far enough. I know the am1000 reduces flow too but to this extent is shocking. And even side by side with nothing plumbed in the 2080 was shooting water way further
