Retirement and forum shutdown (17 Jan 2022)
Hi,
John Howell who has managed the forum for years is getting on and wishes to retire from the role of managing it.
Over the years, he has managed the forum through good days and bad days and he has always been fair.
He has managed to bring his passion for fish keeping to the forum and keep it going for so long.
I wish to thank John for his hard work in keeping the forum going.
With John wishing to "retire" from the role of managing the forum and the forum receiving very little traffic, I think we must agree that forum has come to a natural conclusion and it's time to put it to rest.
I am proposing that the forum be made read-only from March 2022 onwards and that no new users or content be created. The website is still registered for several more years, so the content will still be accessible but no new topics or replies will be allowed.
If there is interest from the ITFS or other fish keeping clubs, we may redirect traffic to them or to a Facebook group but will not actively manage it.
I'd like to thank everyone over the years who helped with forum, posted a reply, started a new topic, ask a question and helped a newbie in fish keeping. And thank you to the sponsors who helped us along the away. Hopefully it made the hobby stronger.
I'd especially like to thank John Howell and Valerie Rousseau for all of their contributions, without them the forum would have never been has successful.
Thank you
Darragh Sherwin
Damm, Tetratec1200 leaking, water water everywhere
I had it turned off last night and still water leaked out (it was running for a while so there was some pressure built up in it alright.
I dont see any water coming from the hose unit and appears to begin forom the latches/clips area i.e. the o ring, I will try Mark's suggestion as there is sand in the tank an some did make its way into the base of the filter.
I see how today goes after clean and failign that will get onto them.
I think even if I get it to stop leaking now another leak is only around the corner and I am lucky that the tank was moved to utility room (making space/cabinet for new tank
) where it initially leaked. It damaged goods in my eye at the moment.Rgds

EDIT ** OK water is coming out from where the Hose goes into the hose unit.I suppose that if this is ahte fault hat this makes sene as this was the olny thing I removed prior to moving the filter.**
(the image shows lots of droplets on lower part of filter - you can ignore that as that was the water that split out when removing head) the normal loss of water is a steady trickle down the side)
Rgds,
