If it's brand new you'd do best to return it. Are you sure you didn't just spill any water in there when you put it together? Did it have an 'o' ring to install? The noise is probably air trapped inside. Tilt it up and see if it spits out bubbles. If so, the noise should go once all the air is...

I just thought it might be interesting if anyone would like to list the size of tank they have, and what they are using to filter it. Also, details of who uses what media might be good. I want to find out just how important filtration actually is, compared with Flow. My main successful tanks all...

Just woke up to a puddle of water on the floor around my Eheim. I took the head off to check the o ring, but when I lifted it off a whole load of water came out the top. Was just wandering where it came from!!! I can't see anything wrong, and it's the first time I've had it happen :eh: It's not...

My Ecco Pro has just started misbehaving :( It didn't re-start after normal maintenance. It buzzes, but the impeller doesn't turn. If I open it and turn it on (my bad!), it only starts if I turn the impeller first myself and give it a bump start. It's not that there's an air lock or...

Hi all, long time no see... We've just got an Eheim Classic 2217, and have a couple of questions for anyone who has one. Are they all reeeeally noisy? You can hear it buzzing in the next room. It also sounds like there's some trapped air in there, but I can't see any way to get rid of it - I've...

This time the problem is it's sucking in air from somewhere, but is not leaking water. I'm not sure where from, as all the o rings seem in place. I've tried shaking the filter to get the air out, but as soon as it's expelled it, more appears in the cannister from somewhere. I'm assuming it's got...

I still haven't solved my problems with the Rena XP4, and now have put it down to not siphoning right using the bodged pipes as I don't have the proper ones. Anyone know where I can get replacement Rena pipework from, or does anyone have any? Tom

I think I must have an airlock in my XP4, as it is being very loud. Trouble is, if it is an airlock, I can't seem to get it out. I've tried shaking and tipping to filter to try and force it out the pipes, and pouring water into it using a funnel so it runs straight through the filter. It's...

I've just tried cleaning my set, but even 50% bleach solution hasn't cleared the algae. I can't find a flexible/small enough pipe cleaner either. Also, one end of the intake is more or less sealed. Might be trying Milton Fluid next... Anyone else got a set the know how to clean well? Tom

I've currently got a Fluval 105, rated 480lph and for up to 100l but I don't think this will be enough flow. Say it manages 350lph, it's not even 4x turnover per hour. What would you go for for a 90l 60x40x40cm tank? I have 10/12mm pipes... :? Tom
