My Fluval isn't pumping in as much water, it got pretty weak and is driving me nuts :nilly:

Took it apart and cleaned it twice and still not pumping right, I can't seem to figure out what might be the problem, LFS is no help.

I need to do something quick cause I'll be traveling soon and my brother is too lazy to clean the tank every other day. :(

Stick with Rena XP3 and Eheim Pro Series. They're expensive but you'll never have breakdown issues underless you drop the motor head.

Are you sure it's priming correctly? Water pumps MUCH better than air!

I would check the media or check for air. If it is not those two, then it could possibly be the impeller.
