breakaway Posted May 3, 2004 Report Share Posted May 3, 2004 Hi, Recently purchased Shark 1 filter with 600 300 300 tank, And was wondering, The filter has 4 modes. Normal, Aeration 25%, Aeration 50%, Aeration 75% and Aeration Only. I stuck it on 3 (Max Aeration) and put it in the water. Currently using Activated Carbon and Sponge as Media. And when I stuck my hand in front of the lil hole wehre the water is supposed 2 come out all filtered and stuff, I could bearly feel the current. This is supposed to be a 400 L/hour filter. I was just wondering if this is normal, or is it time 4 me to take the filter bak 2 the store. THanx 4 help in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris.L Posted May 3, 2004 Report Share Posted May 3, 2004 The water comes out of the shark-like mouth. Not the air tube hole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breakaway Posted May 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2004 Yes, thats where I checked 4 the current :evil: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris.L Posted May 3, 2004 Report Share Posted May 3, 2004 What do you mean you could barely feel and current? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are we supposed 2 connect say.... an AIR PUMP here in order for the aeration modes to work ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breakaway Posted May 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2004 What do you mean you could barely feel and current? Its not as strong as I expected 2 be. Again, I might be wrong coz Im new to Aquarium Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris.L Posted May 3, 2004 Report Share Posted May 3, 2004 No, I have never used an air pump on my shark filters. Maybe that's as fast as it goes? It's not trying to cause a major waterfall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breakaway Posted May 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2004 Yeah, I guess I overestimated the pumping power of the Shark 1 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polgara Posted May 7, 2004 Report Share Posted May 7, 2004 If you have the top part sticking out of the water it is pumpin out water fast right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
