I have a 24+30inch high tank(Stand and tank ground up). This is how much the line has to pull and push. Well not really the line was split in half and put on each side of the tank... the lines are straight but im not getting enuff flow... it really weak, An my valves are open. So what can i do it help this problem? the two lines are 4 feet from each other. Thanks sorry for DP but i was getting no hits.

new... well a few a month n a half... im going to replace the hosing and remove the media... i worked wounders on my smaller tank.. i think i have the line to far out or something... can i still have a good thing going if i intake and out take are next to each other but have the outtake blowing left and right? I also mean the intake will be 3inch off the gravel and the out 3 from the top.
Are you using the fluval blue or white polishing pads? They can clog up very quickly and severely reduce flow rate. The first time this happened to me I spent all night dissassembling and reassembling the filter until I finally realized it was the blue pad.... great filters though, I have two on my 120 and I love them.
It's the white and or blue pads. Mine clogged up after about 2 weeks for a 8 weeks straight. Don't use them anymore, and the water is still crystal clear.
