Fluval canister low flow.

[vacuumlad]

I have a 36 gallon corner aquarium with the fluval 204 filter. The filters lost efficiency it no longer has good flow and debris collects on the bottom of the aquarium. I've been trying to think of a way to get the debris to stop From settling on the ground. I don't want a powerhead because they look ugly and I don't like my fish having to swim against a rip current. Do you guys have any tips on how to increase the flow on my canister filter and keep debris off the bottom of the aquarium? I vacuum gravel every other week.

As far as low flo, theres a few possible causes. How long has it been running? How long since last cleaning, impeller too?

And for settling debris.... Try and reposition your return flow nozzles to help suspend extra food, waste, etc.. In the water column longer. Its a shuffle expirement at times, but youll find the best position.
