    Why is my hob filter overflowing on the intake?

    From what i figured out,you cannot force water in those filters.They are not like canister filters or even internal ones,which are closed,and the water has to go through wherever you make it to.So i took the divider off,did a small modification,i compromised with the idea and it s a lot better now.

    Why is my hob filter overflowing on the intake?

    I have this hob amtra 370 filter and i have ''upgraded'' like this,because,as it works,the water pumped up flows from the first chamber to the 2nd one and out withoyt anything in the way.Water always chooses the easiest route,therefore the top water which is unfiltered ended up going out from...

    What am i doing wrong???

    I m doing weekly maitnenance and water change.Desperate,i tried pulling out the siamensis and probably dispising them or trimming and replanting and i noticed that i pulled hard but they were well anchored in the substrate,which means they developed roots,no matter what the problem with their...

    Would you suggest that i add more plants?To my conception,if i put it right,in my mind,i wanted to build a tank to look natural enough to a river stream or a river bank,with few plants.Thats why i glued those dried pear tree branches(i found on the net that it is safe for aquarium) on the lid...
