ok so got a 55 gal off craigslist today with all gravel, ornaments, some chemicals, a light with moonlight, a penguin hang on the back filter, and two ehiem 2213 canister filters. all for $100!!! great deal right?

any ways it took forever to even get the ehiems pumping water (cause i've never had an ehiem before) and when they finally did it sucked in faster than it pumped out, whats going on? is it something i did wrong? also when i adjust how much it's intaking it either is overflowing or doesn't take any water in.

????????
 
seals are bad. order new ones.
 
Ya.. eheim 2213's disadvantage is the seal ring.. they are available cheap on amaozn...

Great filters 2213, i still have one i'm using that says "made in west germany" so they last forever.. just need to services the parts and the plastic seals and ur good..
