Hi,
I own a planted Juwel Korall 60l which was filtered initially with the standard Juwel filter which I removed and then bought an APS Corner filter but this did not appear to give enough flow but because I am now injecting CO2 so I decided to buy a more powerful filter which is a JBL CrystalProfi E700 however I have now developed what I think is a water leak which seeping from underneath the tank.
I telephoned Juwel customer support who believe that it is not in fact a leak but capilliary action of the water because of the more powerful filter I am using. I am I admit running it for a short period (to allow for the new filter to settle down bacteria wise) along with the APS filter and just wondered if anybody had any ideas on whether Juwel are correct or whether I do have a leak. They say I should not need / have to use an external filter as the tank is not manufactured to use external filters / airstones per se ?
They suggested I drain the tank down, dry it out and refill but I do not particularly want to do this as it is stocked with flora and fauna
Thanks in anticipation
