Hi guys, just a quick question regarding my JBL crystalprofi e1500. Although it is more than capable of handling the job in my 125L i have noticed that since swapping it for my internal juwel filter the water is no where near as clean. There is constantly a lot of debris suspended in the water and it isn't as clear as it used to be. I've also noticed a heavy build up of scum on the surface of the water. This is probably down to two things. 1) The juwel filter had a grill at the bottom and also the top to filter debris/scum from the surface and also lower water column. 2) I am unable to fully open the outflow valve otherwise the movement in the tank would look like a hurricane. I presume that point 2 would also affect the strength of the inflow, the stronger the outflow means the stronger the current of water being pulled into the inflow pipe? At the moment debris has to literally pass within millimeters of the inflow strainer to get sucked in, anything further and the inflow isn't strong enough to pull debris into it.
Any suggestions as to how i sort this problem? I was going to drill a series of tiny holes along the inflow pipe but this will reduce the strength even more i imagine and i don't really want to invest in a second filter.
Cheers
