So i've had my eheim pro 2080 running for about a month now, its already gone into the red on the flow indicator twice. The first time it took about 3 1/2 weeks. I noticed it was in the red, so I took it out and cleaned the filter pads, and rinsed the biomedia through tank water. Hook it back up, and its at full flow, great. Here I am two days later, and it is once again in the red already... what the heck? I have 10 4" RBP in a 120 gallon tank, I vacuum the tank a couple times a week and do 25% water change twice a week.
What the heck is causing it to clog so quickly and what should I do? I didnt expect to even have to clean the canister every month, let alone every couple days.
