Thanks Everyone Dummy that I am, I didn't realize the thread had gained a second page, so I didn't see any of those replies til this evening lol... I shortened my hoses, then opened the canister to check the seal and it started filling (it apparently still had alot of air in it afterall) So I...

It does leak abit upside down. Not much. Seems to come from one of the latches which I suppose would mean the main gasket all the way around? It's brand new, and all the parts are on it. Only thing left in the box is an extension for a deeper tank. Is there something I should do to the seal?

Ok, if direction means input on input valve and output on output, they're labeled, so I've got that right. Plus that's the direction it goes when I turn the canister upside down. It is filled with water now, because like I was saying, I ran it upside down. It does run when the canister is held...

I've triple-checked the hoses via the instructions and youtube videos. And they aren't hanging below the filter; they are curled behind the tank loosely. I considered too much slack, but it's for up to 75 gallons and this is only a 55 gallon, shouldn't it have enough oomph as long as there's...

right direction? this is my first canister filter, what does that mean? media is just the floss pads that came with it and a bit of carbon no kinks

Hi I got a new canister filter (sunsun 3 stage) and it wouldn't prime. Then I tried turning it upside down. Eureka. Turned it back rightside up after a good flow had been established, and flow stops. Also tried laying it on it's side; once it gets beyond a 45 degree angle facing upside down, it...

Hi. I've got a couple two-lined salamanders that I've had for around 5 months now. Caught them at about an inch long, the first of the two just lost its gills. -I'm wondering how much space in their new aquarium should be dedicated to land, as well as how important it is to have non-aquatic...

My tap water is extremely bad... Thanks, I will try the slow drip with the next batch. And maybe get them somewhere else.

Aaaand today the last of them is dead. Still no idea why.

Yes. And acclimated them by leaving their bag floating in the tank for about an hour. Also, looks like I still have a few live ones this morning. Little buggers are hard to see. I actually did it this way because I read something about using ghost shrimp to get a tank ready for other...

Hi. I'm hoping someone has an idea what could be happening here..I have a 10gal aquarium that I put bottled spring water in, along with a pennywort and some hornwort. It's aerated and has light. The only animals in it were about 8 small ghost shrimp and I put food in for them since there was no...
