I have two streams (2 and 3) connected on the output of two eheim 2080 filter. The filter with the stream2 seems to flow as normal, BUT the filter with the Stream3 had significantly reduced water flow (by about half).

My Q now is, does the longer the cartridge of the stream3 block the flow? I disconnected the stream3 and the filter flows as usual so it's not he motor of the eheim preventing it to pump the usual output.

I was thinking now of taking out some cartridge to get it flowing like normal - not sure if anybody done this or it'll impact the stream3 performance.

Let me know your thoughts.
