Default Fluval 205

I have a fluval 105 and I found that the O-ring can sit in a position that looks like it fits but is the wrong position. Instead of placing the O-ring on the top portion try placing it on the canister portion and seating the top.

Also I've read that Vasaline is a petroleum based product and was advised not to use it. I'm not saying the guy who recommended it is wrong. I just don't know what to believe as far as vasaline goes. I was personally going to lube all my o-rings with it but was talked out of it.

Where do you get a new o-ring?

plus if its $30 I might rethink the purchase.

A new marineland 220 is $100

Just saying.

Wrap some teflon tape around the o-ring. Works great. Cheaper than a new O-ring and no vaseline involved. Home depot sells if for less than a $1.00.

Back to the beginning... I'm not gonna "jerry-rig" it and come home to it leaking all over. If you are handier than I am then your in luck.

--------------------------------

I bought this Fluval 205 canister filter loaded it up and got it running just to realize that it leaks! It was a used sale and I wont go into details about the crummy seller!!!!

Either way, I have for sale a Fluval 205 canister filter that leaks. All the trays, hoses & attaching devices. It works but just leaks.

If you need Fluval 205 parts this is your chance or on the other hand if you have one that is broken let me know and I might be able to fix this one.

I'll take $20 for it as parts or some frag? Even $5

This one is a loss for me.
