Yeah, I am not strong enough, And I honestly dont know how. I bought a filter pad for it, but I cannot open it!!!!! Will it shoot water? Do I take the hoses off? I am in way over my head. Ch-47 didnt tell me how to do it before he left, :cry::cry::cry:


Its a 350
 
She said Canister so I assume it's a Mag.

Make sure you open the quick disconnect to pop the top off, you need to relieve pressure if they are both closed.
 
A marineland canister looks similar to this..

And this is a magnum 350...

they are both canisters...
 
If its a mag 350, you'll need to open one of the valves at the top where the hoses are to release the vaccuum. you'll never open it with it full of water, and having both valves closed..
