Whats wrong with my filter?
I bought a 190 gallon aquarium today for my terrapin, and when i set up one of the filter/heaters it made a loud rattling noise. I bought it today second hand and its been rattling ever since.
Its a Eheim External Filter Professionel II Special Edition and I dont even know if this is suitable for a terrapin. Also, the heater doesnt seem to work on it, and i'm not even sure if this heater is powerful enough on its own because the tank came with two, but one broke on the journey home! Please please please help me, my terrapin and I would be very grateful.
Ah, okay, I didn't realise with some filters you may need to put water in them. So... New question... Does anyone out there have one of these filters? I've been looking everywhere for an instruction manual for one but I can't find one! It's doing my head in!
I know this is going to sound like a stupid question, but did you add water to the filter? Also, is the water in your tank high enough? These are both common problems.
