I put a new Filter on my 125 gal 4 weeks ago. It has been running flawlessly as I would expect from a workhorse like the Classic 2217. However, I notice the output has diminished to about 1/4 of what it was when I first started it. I completely stripped it down and cleaned it again (I'd just done so Saturday). No blockages anywhere in the system. When I put it back in service it still had the greatly diminished flow. I tore it down again, moved the media, removed sponges, same thing. I broke it down three times last night. I'm at a loss. Anyone run into this before? This is the first problem I've had with any Eheim equipment.
