I just took off my Eheim Pro 3 cannister filter to rinse (in tankwater) and add some filter floss. When i went to put it back on the tank i filled it up first with some tank water to get it started easier. as i was lifting and slightly tilting it to place it back under the tank i noticed allot of water coming out from the edges. I thought at the time the seal was not on properly or some such. I took it out again and went into the bathroom and removed the lid. The TOP was pouring water from every hole including from where the electrical cord goes into the unit. Now i'm scared to plug it in and fry it completely. ANYONE Please some advice. My 80 gallon currently has had NO filter for a half an hour now.
Thanks
