Please log in for more thread options Well after a few days the flow rate goes right down. I have tried cleaning
the two blue sponges more often, but that didn't change anything. I also use
to clean the gravel once a week, but it was the same then as well, even
though the tank was spot less.
It probably doesn't matter to much, as I'm going to be getting a fluval 304
soon, but I want to be able to leave the tank for up to two weeks without
the filter needing to be cleaned, so if there's something I'm doing wrong I
want to find out what it is.
