I purchased 3 C series Marineland canisters several years ago (2008 I think). They worked great for awhile but on down the road I would take them apart to clean them then they leaked like crazy. Tried a few things but moved on to other filters I had at the time. My last one in my living room tank did the same thing this week. As long as you don't clean them they run fine.
Did some searches and it seems they have a bad rep for this leaking issue. Customer support recommended plumbers silicon on the gaskets. I've seen others say vaseline works. But the nice lady at support said that is petroleum based and not good for the water.
Has anybody figured out the best option for this gasket issue?
I just picked up the silicone and am testing it right now.
