    Broken Fluval U4

    The other day, I went to change the output from the spray bar, to the top valve to provide more surface agitation while my tank temp is up at 82.5F to combat a whitespot outbreak, and the dial on the top, simply snapped off.. leaving the filter with hardly any output at all.. I went and bought...
