does this happen to anyone elses filter,
my external filter when i check it and clean
the sponges extra,
i hate that when you put it back together and
turn it on it sends some of the rubbish back
and my water is cloudy till the filter has
done its job,
is it supposed to do this?? [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

cheers for your replies,
yes it clears up,
think its to do with the priming
to get air out??
just annoying when you have it all
nice and clean then it spits back
dirt into your tank!! [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
