Hello

I wonder if anyone has had the same problem as I am having. It started for no reason but my fluval intake tube keeps coming away from the pipe.

I have cleaned all tube and rubbers but can't understand why it keeps doing it. The filter and all parts are not even 12mts old yet so it cant be worn.

I took everything apart and also found 3 of my tiny green tiger barbs in the top of the filter, still very much alive and swimming!!! I thought I lost them in a massive algae bloom I had not long ago.

I have cable tied a sponge around the rubber pipe to tube connection to hopefully stop fish getting sucked in again if it comes off but I really need to figure out why it's suddenly happening.

Any ideas.

Thanks in advance.
Donna
