If the impeller picked up grains of sand, it may start to score the impeller shaft. I've seen FX4/6 owners online advise that with their high flow rates, sand sometimes makes it past the outer foams and down into the baskets reaching the impeller assembly. With their air pumps you can select from 3 models to fit all common aquarium sizes with very quiet operation, a long service life and the best in quality. Eheim are pioneers in the aquarium industry and a reputable European manufacturer. I may have been thinking about the wrong model when you first posted about it.ĭo you think leak was from over torquing the screw on the top cover, or making from the pump?Ī lot of YouTube videos ive watched in the past of Eheim 2260/2262 (1500xl) owners leave the pump cover off, for ease of maintenance.Īlso, I've seen more than one owner slip a mat of rubber or very dense foam mat between the top lid and the pump to reduce vibration and noise.Īfter you get the wet mess cleaned up and the Eheim taken care of, you may want to pull the FX6 out and remove all the baskets.ĭo a good rinse and inspection to ensure sand didnt make it's way into the inner baskets.
