Amazing what a little lube can do

This is a fish post, not porn.

So my two Eheim canister filters on the discus tank have been pissing me off for a while now. Recently the priming handle on one was ready to fall off because it wasn't raising and lowering the impeller head assembly smoothly enough. I knew I needed to get some silicone grease to get things going smooth again, but never got it until just now. Now with the two O-rings and the handles lubed, the whole things prime very easily. But one is still sucking air. I think that's what the problem is, anyway. The fact that it's still having problems just makes me feel better about my plan for jury-rigging the new canister I never returned. It involves epoxy and a hammer, as any good plan does.
