    I need some advise here. Recently i noticed that my external ehiem canister filter seem to have lost power to pump and suck in water thru the tube.

    so i took out some of the movable parts and wash the slime off but the problem still persist.

    i had this canister for abt 1 yr already. Pse advise, thanks.

    clean the pipes and valves too.
    Vincent - AQ is for everyone, but not for 'u' and 'mi'.
    Why use punctuation? See what a difference it makes:
    A woman, without her man, is nothing.
    A woman: without her, man is nothing.

    same problem occurs to me too..... the sluge in the filter media could be the prob. rinse it real well with aquarium water....
    the topmost sponge (finest filtering media) have the highest chance of getting clog.

    i did not really clean the pipes...just use waterjets to spray into it.... for 2233, you can consider changing the filter media... the topmost(finnest one)
    hope this helps

    cheers

    Thanks everyone who gave advise. Problem rendered. I wash the pipes, tubes, change fine filters etc and now it's flowing as usual.
