Here goes my first post
hope i posted in the right forum.
I have a 80gal fresh water tank that i just setup this is the first time using
a canister filter, had no problems getting up and running but it seems that
i cant get the outlet down far enough into the tank.
this 404 has the smooth hoses and the rim adapter to which the pickup
and outlet bits just push into.
i have the outlet elbow thing down as far as i can get it
(i even put a bit of tape to make a tighter fit so it could be on
even lower)
but the nozzle is still 100% out of the water and is very noisy and
there is lots of splashing going on, only way i can use it is to have
the flow turned way down, wide open it will move enough water
to start it flowing over the rim of the tank on the far side of the tank.
am i missing something?
is there a different nozzle that one can put on this thing to get it down
into the water?
any input would be good
thanks
matt
