Hi guys
I have a PENN-PLAX cascade 1500 and i'm also having some problems with it !
This filter is for a tank up to 200Gals i have a 180 gal tank so filtration should be fine by an extra 20gal. But it has come to my attention that it's not taking in enough water because the output is poor it's more like a big trickle it was quite powerful when i bought it brand new on ebay nearly 3 months ago it cost me £180 ( $317.1024 ) but now my tank is starting to suffer because of this problem.
My water is crystal clear when i do my water changes each week but then the day after it's go's all cloudy! I can also tell my filter is buggered because i've started to get all these little white worm like parasites on my glass due to the poor filtration.
I have cleaned my filter i rinsed al the pipes to see if there was some sort of blockage when i took the power unit off the filter to clean the media i took out the impeller to clean but i cant get into the main unit to get to the working mechanisms.
Does anyone have any advice to help me i can't afford to spend £180 ( $317.1024 ) on another new filter i just can't do it !!! any help PLEASE ! my tank is starting to get unsightly PLEASE MFK HELP ME !!!!!!!!!!!!
I just wish i'd stuck with EHEIM !!! there great !
