Hello,
Anybody have this problem?
This is the 2nd time this has happened to me.
My fluval 404 had been working fine, than I moved and had to clean it...now water is leaking from the sides where the handles are. (both sides, but a little more on one than the other) There's no hole or crack. Its a very slow leak, but still! Its so annoying because this has happened to me before and I got so fed up trying to figure out the problem that I ended up just getting a whole new filter. Now just a couple yrs later this one is doing it too!
I've checked everything and as far as I can see there is nothing wrong. I've always been a fluval believer, but this is just pissing me off. These things are too expensive to be buying every 2 years!
Can anyone give me some suggestions or advise? I guess I can go talk to someone in a local pet store, but I always loved this forum and thought I post here first.
Right now I have the filter in a bucket so it wont leak all over the carpet. But what a pain to have to check that every day! Other than the leak, the filter works fine.
Thank so much in advance!
