[heffesuita]

Hello guys I have a brand new hydor 350 canister filter. I just got it set up on this tank last night. It ran for a few hours before bed it was not leakng any were. Checked this morning no water any were at all. I got home and had a small amount of water poiled under it, and a small bead running down the side. I have ripped this completely apart now 4 times propeller out, all trays out of it and put back in. all put back together and is still doing the same thing. One tiny little bead just a super slow drip coming from the right front of it. I honestly cant think of any thing else to do with this. As far as I can tell and c the top is on how it is supposed to be there is no gap in the front there is a tiny gap in the back of it but it is not leaking in the back. I have put the cap on a lot of times over and over. Any suggestions thanks guys, and gals,

Is its brand new should have a warranty or return or exchanges it don't waste your time if its already having issues.

Yea. I'd return it.

If you can't you can try adding more gasket material (teflon tape) and more sealing force (duct tape). But I'd always worry about leaking.

Return.

Alternatively you can probably pull the gasket and reseat it. I’ve had that issue with an fx before.

thanks guys I was thinking I was just putting it on wrong but I really don't see how you could. Is allways a pain in the butt to return things you purchased online.
