Hey guys

So I bought a Marina 110 filter for my 65 litre tank. I watched a YouTube video showing how you can take out the carbon cartridge and bio pad and refill the space with your own filter media.

So I’ve done this with a layer of course sponge, a layer of aqua one aquarium filter wool pad, a layer or ceramic bio rings and then some more wool on top.

The filter uses a ‘water spout’ that helps to oxygenate when putting water back in but the stream is so tiny.

I’ve rinsed out the media multiple times but it doesn’t help.

What do you think could be wrong?
 
Guessing your media is too dense for the power of the motor. Try one/none layer of wool?
