Posted	External filter probs.
11-11-2006 10:31 by Bogwoodbruce	Today i've noticed that my 100 gallon tank was getting dirtyer. And the internal and external filters weren't working right. There was just a trickle coming out. So i've clean the internal and it's working right now but because i got the external filter second hand with the tank i don't know how to empty all the water out before opening it. Does anybody know? It a fluval 304.
11-11-2006 10:46 by jonie	bruce blow into the intake pipe and the water will come out the other side i had an eheim once whichy had baby trimac cichlids init so i thought id crack it open as it was sealed and i couldnt so i thought ill blow in the intake and force it out and hey presto i had 15 lil trimacs btw-i have tried it with the fluval 304 so it does work

11-11-2006 15:19 by darren	Bruce,you could do with 2 externals on that size tank,that way you can maintain one at a time I run 2 on a 75 gallon
11-11-2006 16:29 by Bogwoodbruce	I've got 2 fulval 4s inside it an i'm buying an aqua pro 4 as well next week.
11-11-2006 22:27 by OLD MAN	mate has the fluval 304 not got a flow control on it like the 405??? if so push it all the way up and it stops the water for you.
11-11-2006 22:29 by OLD MAN	just looked the fluval 304 has the flow control! push the black lever all the way up, pull up the silver lever. then the pipes disconect from the unit and the flow is totaly stoped. then open up the unit and no water will come out of it.
12-11-2006 10:06 by Bogwoodbruce	Thanks. I took the thing that goes over the intake valve and it was stuffed with muck, so i clean the nossel out and it's working fine agian. Just a bit jammed up.
