Hey all,
Sorry, wasn't sure where to post this, so hopefully this is ok.
I have an AquaClear 100 filter. It worked fine for the first month or so, but after that I started to have problems with the filter media floating up to the top of the filter. This would in turn raise the entire filter basket, raising the lid. So I taped down the lid. However now the foam filter still floats up. This raises the water level (for some reason) and water now spills out from the left side of the filter (not the waterfall part, but the part where the intake is) onto the back and top of my tank.
Does anyone know what's wrong? I've had these filters in the past and never had this problem. I gently cleaned the foam filter and removed the carbon filter but no matter what the foam filter won't stay on the bottom (those 4 pieces of plastic "hooks" on the basket won't hold it down).
Thanks!
