I run all Fluval setups. From where is the issue coming from ?

Its coming out of the holes in the side next to the clips?!?

It sounds like it may not be seated properly. It has happened to me when doing tank maintenance in the past. You'll need to shut it down, take it all apart, and put it all back together. When you reassemble it, do it in the sink so you can test it there.

What I've done in the past is take the gasket off the head unit and soak in a bowl of warm (not hot) water. This may help when reseating the head unit back to the lower end of the canister.
