Just set up my tank, and turned on my brand new Eheim 2215. There seems to be a very slight, and it is very slight, leak in the connection at the top that connects the pump to the tubing which connects the double connector valves.
This is the very first connection from the output side of the pump.
Is this normal maybe until the threads gunk up? I notice you cant really wrench the odd mechanism that connects the tubing to output pump. Seems the plastic "nuts" sort of want to warp.
I have already tried replacing the small amount of tubing thinking that the end wasn't cut straight enough, thus possibly not making the best seal, but this new piece of tubing was cut very nice and yet there is still just the tiniest amount of water leaking out.
I'd say it's about 1 drop every 2 hours, maybe even more.
Any thoughts or tips? Is this something to return the pump over?
