Sorry for me saying this,but that thing is POS.Putting it together and getting it to run properly can be a pain in the rectum.:ROFL:

When I had mine it would some times cut off without me knowing and my fish would be without a pump for days until I finally noticed when I went to change the water in my tank.:WHOA:

Is yours the deluxe or the old one like mine?

FYI you have to make sure that rubber ring is secured to the lid or it won't work.

don't forget to fill it back with water before closing the lid and turning it back on...

I ran them for a couple of years w/o issue except for them being noisy. After joining here I've switched to Eheim 2217 for bio and AC100s for mechanical filtration.
