Canister filter running low flow

[Bwanny]

Hey everyone i recently bought another fluval 306 canister filter. I now am running two of them on my 75 gal oscar and flowerhorn tank. I noticed the new one has an insanely stronger current to it compared to the older one. I was looking up some troubleshooting options and was wondering what you guys thought. I thought maybe the impeller needed to be cleaned off and i looked at it and it was fine. I thought maybe there could be some build up in the tubing coming from the filter to the tank. I have yet to actually clean them out. I also cleaned the sponges on the old fluval 306 before and it doesnt seem to of made that big of a difference. What do you guys think? What could be all the possible issues?

I suspect your hoses. Mine gets clogged from time to time. Check the inlet first because that is the one most likely to be clogged.

Your filter media too dense?

Check you filter media as well. That will be the first thing you want to look at. It is what I look at first with my 206.

Yea it turns out the tubing had a ton of junk in it. I also forgot to clean one of the bottom foam sponges the last time i cleaned my filter. Not my filter is running great just like the new one. Thanks everyone!
