That's the problem brotherd. I was experiencing overflow issues immediately upon using my new AquaClear filter with a brand new sponge and 1 inch of poly-fiber. :cry:

Timbo2, the AquaClear 200 doesn't come with a tilt selector. I'll check to see if by tilting the filter system more foward into the tank takes care of my overflow issue, but from what I can tell, it just looks like the media is too much for the water to pass through at full flow. Ideally I was...
