I had a couple of cascades over the years, they always seem to leak after disassembly. Check the o-rings that hold the hoses onto the upper hopusing. They leak often enough.You can remove the outter cover and replace the o-rings on them also.

trade it for an eheim or fluval

doesnt petroleum eat rubber

I have used petroleum jelly ie vaseline on my o-rings for all of my canisters.

Good luck with that one .


Seriously though. .....I would just cut my losses and get something that will give you piece of mind . If you stop the leak now.........I still wouldn't have complete trust in that filter every again .

+1 I'd call it a loss and move on to a trusted brand unless you're dead set on fixing it. I'm not too fond of cascade filters.

+1 I lube new o-rings. It's what usually causes it to leak.

Fixed it the intake tube gasket was only half on . Put it in a garbage bag for the night to be a little safer we will see
