eheim 2215 sounds like it has air in it.

Hey, yeah, it's usually quite quiet and every now and again it will make that air bubble noise but after few seconds it will generally stop, but this afternoon it hasn't stopped making the airy noise. We checked to make sure water is getting in and it's still a good strong stream but the water is just dribbling out the outlet bar. we pulled it apart and put it back together but it hasn't made any difference. we've turned it off now cause we're scared of wreaking it. Does anyone know what could be causing the problem?

Oh, we just recharged the CO2, we have the tube poked up the end of the intake, could that be the problem? :-?

Uhhh...Yes...I agree with Weka. You're intentionally putting air into it and then wondering why it sounds like it has air in it?:)

Some filters don't deal as well with CO2 going into the intake.

Ive done the Co2 intake with a 2215 and it was perfectly fine. having said that, if the CO2 is causing the problems, you are putting far too much CO2 into your tank.

try reducing the amount of yeast you use in the mixture if the problem is indeed too much gas in the cannister. :)
