I got a Hydor Prime 10 canister filter. I have a question on setting it up. I understand head height and I think I'm ok there. The tube coming back up into the tank has a little sticker where the maximum water level should be. This line would only be an inch, or less, below the water surface. That seems pretty high to me.
For those of you who have canisters: Where is your outflow positioned? By outflow, I mean the water coming out of the canister and back up to the tank. Where is this tube in your tank? My directions seem to say that this little tube must be only an inch or less below the top of the water surface. It looks like a U shape, with a tiny little directional spout, so almost all of the U will be sticking up over the tank (and adding to the head height). I have never seen anything like that in anyone's pictures.
