Hi there. Sorry but I won't be able to help. This was 7.5 years ago and I can't remember what happened in the end! Hope you manage to sort it out...

For water changes I use 22x28mm kiowa clear plastic piping, .22x28mm Clear PVC Tube | Kiowa Ltd , sooo much faster than 16/22 and superfast when connected to powerhead. It also happens to slide straight over my sink tap without the need for any connectors. For underwater piping and connectors...

Thanks Alastair, that is very helpful. I will give that a go. I use filter floss rolls also - 305gsm from The Wadding Shop which i think is the same as 25-30mm from Finest Filters, only tiny bit cheaper, but both seem to be different names for the same company.

While I expect the increased flow will help filtration and...

Thanks davem, I will contact them tomorrow

Hi there, Last week I bought a second hand Eheim 2080. It has been working fine until today when I managed to break the primer button (see below) trying to restart the filter after some maintenance. I think I made it all worse when I opened the filter up to check the broken part. After I...
