My output sucks...I know that comes with time. I've had it for a few years now. Is there any way I can get the output back to the way it was? It's putting out flow weaker than my 30 gallon powerhead Can it be saved...

If its all cleaned out and still low pressure, maybe the motor needs to be replaced, in which case may be cheaper to buy brand new unit.

If there's no blockage it could be that motor is failing. In that case, go on!! Treat yourself!! you deserve it!! http://www.petsolutions.com/Rena+FilStar+Canister+Filters-C-101815-C-.aspx Good Luck, "T"

Which canister would be great for rays...but not break the bank? They like flying in the output...kinda like a bird in the breeze.
