Has anyone ever had any problems with their Aquaclear HOB filter basket staying put? Mine keeps floating up on one end, and I am not sure why, I can't tell if the little tab has broken off or not (as far as I can tell its not, but its just not holding the filter basket down). I might just wedge something in there to hold it down, but wondered if anyone else had experienced this.
I also need to get a new impeller (and possibly motor) as sand got into it and it looks like the bar the impeller slots over has scores on it from sand or something. I might just hold off until Christmas and see if I can get a canister filter, and keep the Aquaclear as a back up.
As far as I can tell a canister is better for plants and a sand substrate, so might go that route... Ok done rambling, any ideas on the filter basket?
