I have noticed my *main* filter has gotten crapper and crapper flow rate. Its pulls water through the heater, mech and biological elements - one of those all in one thingies. Its nowhere near as powerful as i feel suffice (the inlet to the filter compartment is kinda covered in fluffy, hairy algae tho..) - which should eventually go as im cutting down feeding and lighting hours. Is there a way to speed it up? The impellor is already on full outlet and it isnt clogged (just cleaned it).

Its in a confined space so idont think i could affix a powerhead onto it :crazy: The impellor wouldnt be affecting performance would it? (3 years old iirc)

Cheers
