Decided to remove my Aquaclear 70 from 55 gallon planted tank and just use my Aquaclear 110. Removed and cleaned the AC 110 while media soaked in aquarium water in bucket. Thoroughly cleaned impeller shaft area, impeller and intake tube then reassembled impeller and impeller cover (snapped in place). I then partially filled the filter and plugged it in and the water was moving forcefully so I finished reassembly, added media basket, large sponge, small media bag with Purigen and 2 bags of bio-max rings.
When I turned the filter on the flow was not as strong and it was previously and the water in the outflow was partially directed down under the filter. I have a small AC sponge on my intake tube as a pre-filter but it is pretty new and clean not clogged. Why would this happen??
Thanks to members for ideas and advice. :fish:
