Re: Whats this?
The flow is probably not getting around the whole tank, top to bottom, that's a main cause of it. What Martin has posted is a good idea if the filter can't be adjusted.

Re: no heater/pump for 2 hours
Whenever I've had the meters or fuse box changed the power has been off for up to 2 hours, I've also forgotten to switch various plugs back on after water changes.

Re: Starter advice - help!
