Ok I setup my brand new Fluval 104 tonight. I read other threads about getting the air bubbles out, etc. Well it has been running but even after having it run for nearly 15minutes I can shake it and cause it to do this "woosh" sound of airbubbles into the tank. Is this normal and could it be caused from a crack/non-solid connection from my tubing? I have rigged up a DIY CO2 on the input but I have shut the valve until I can figure out the cause of the bubbles.

Mine took quite awhile to work through all of the air bubbles. Is it ok now? Its had a few hours to figure things out it looks like.
um...why are you shaking it though?
Did you check all of your tubing connections? I think if they weren't solid you would be getting drips. I'd say leave it alone for a few hours and let it sort things out, dont shake it. Let us know how its goin

I've never shook mine, but I may tilt it from side to side after I have had the top off for maintance.
If its brand new, then its going to take it a few hours to get all the air out of the filter media and off of the sides of the filter.
But I would check all the conections very good to make sure there isn't any part of it leaking.
