Also I can't get the lid of the filter I've turned the valves shut and switched it off the suctions pretty good I need to get the carbon pad out.

You can use the open/closed valves to control the flow and it can be used without the spraybar.. Also you can 'customize' the canister and add/remove the media inside for even better filtration... You bought a great filter, eheim make great products..
You certainly did make a good choice. I have heard of people having eheim filters for 20+ years, so they are built to last!!. Yeah just shut it until your happy with the flow, although the current is usually a bit less without the spraybar. Remember to leave the inlet(going from tank to filter) valve completely open..Oh I never thought of that that makes sense I can just shut it a little duh! thanks yes I'm happy with it and that the classics have been a good filter and around for a long time I have been reading, I think I made a good choice

In the future, if you want to customize the filter media, give me a PM and i'll help you out with that... Best of luck with it... Ian
That's surprising to hear, the eheim's are more expensive up here!!!..That's so good to hear and they were a lot cheaper than all the other canisters I looked at which where about $150 more than this one. I was glad to find a good one I could afford. Yep I closed the output valve a bit and it worked perfectly thank you so much for that tip! Can't believe I didn't think of that.
Really wow weird I have no idea why that is.That's surprising to hear, the eheim's are more expensive up here!!!..
I assume it's because they are such a good brand/filter. Quite hard to get in lfs's over here(mostly just fluval's, tetratec's), so i would have to buy on-line +shipping costs. Very hard to get decent equipment in Ireland, i have to use Ebay, Amazon from the UK...Really wow weird I have no idea why that is.

So jealous of the Americans, their choice of stores and equipment is excellent...
PS.. I'm not saying there is anything wrong with Fluvals or Tetratec(i have one), just it would be nice to have a bigger selection!!!!!
I know, but i'm still jealous of them!!!... Is there a good selection of aquatic shops in Australia???I'm Australian haha
