suck the air out of it, the fish water wont hurt you.
Ok cheers. Is the filter being a bit above the water line part of this problem?
Thanks.
Lucas.
It's up an running now. Can I use the taps to adjust the flow?
Cheers.
Lucas.
you can but on your tankid run it on full.
Ok. But my fish and plants are blowing about a bit when I have it on full.
Lucas
Turn the spray bar so as it faces the glass of the tank.
Ok rightio. Also, I left the carbon pad in the filter because I was told I may have a little bit of a nitrate issue fueling some algae. However I tested my tank for nitrates once I bought a test kit and it said they were less than 10 ppm. So I was thinking of removing it now, would you agree?
Lucas.
We'll I've removed it now. Filter is working well.
Illusn how does the tap adjustment effect filter operation? Does it reduce the workload of the filter?
Cheers.
Lucas.
adjusting the input tap reduces the water entering the filter, as a result you get less flow. reducing the output can increase the preassure in the filter, this can reduce impeller and moter life as well as (in extreme circumstances) cause the filter head to seperate from the body
