    Help with Fluval 306: flow reduces to nothing after hours/noisy

    just a side thought that came to me, how do you have your media arranged in the filter? im only wondering as i had a really fine foam at the top nearest the impellor and it would on occasion get sucked up and jam the impellor or impede its performance. might not be but just a side thought

    Help with Fluval 306: flow reduces to nothing after hours/noisy

    if the sponge is pulling up when running then the flow is getting restricted a bit, try it with the original intake if you dont have fry and see if the same happens

    have you checked the inlet to the filter in the tank, whenever mine got blocked it reduces the flow and gives the gravelly sound as it isnt getting enough water to pump

    How Long To Leave Air Pump On For?

    mines been running constant in my tank for about 4 years now. never broke down, i wrap a little bit of foam around the feet and hold on with an elastic band to stop the noise worrying me.

    Water Output/Blower Direction?

    Outlet from your filter if you have an external it swirls the water around the bowl gives same flow but a lot less current

    Water Output/Blower Direction?

    with regards to flow, on my old betta tank i had one of these on the outlet of the filter https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01MUDDDS6/?tag= having it half above the water half below it slowed the oultet so he could swim about and also aerated the water nicely.
