Hello all,
Sorry if I always write when there is a problem!!! Right now, my Eheim Pro III 2076 which I was SO fond of is giving me problems.
The output is down to 1 on a scale of 1 to 8. Even if I bump it manually, it automatically goes back down to 1. This filter is only 3 months old and I don't understand why it did not do this before. I called Eheim and I was told that my UV sterilizer hooked up on the flowbar side is the culprit. But then, why did it work fine for more than 90 days????? I don't get it!!! The guy told me:"if I were you, I would get rid of the UV because a higher flowrate is more important to your discus than the UV. Right now, they are not getting enough oxygen." I have 2 airpumps in my tanks but I have noticed that my discus are a bit lethargic. So what do you think? :confused::confused: Are there any type of UVs that are hooked up a different way???????
