My Eheim flow is decreasing...I didn't want to start a whole new thread about it, so I figured I'd ask on here.

Should I clean the filter today?

Yes. Eheims tend to be a bit notorious for decreasing flow significantly after about a month of running, at least in my experience. Cleaning out the pipes and removing the random litter gunk from the filter once a month keeps it running pretty good.

On another note! when are you going to upgrade to the aquascapers club from the overgrown jungle club?!

Nice tank ZTM.
If the water flow is minimal, then i'd clean it out..
Reminds me that mine is due for a cleaning also, LOL.

Your downoi is insane. I can't figure out how you get it to look that good. That is some crazy growth. How did you pack it all in that little tank?

Your Staurogyne growth is remarkable, Zoo! How much did you start with?

And those Hara Jerdoni are super cute. I want to get some for my Mini-L. Where'd you get 'em?
