I was perfomring routine xp3 filter maintenance this evening. I have a 75 gallon tank and this would be the 4th filter change in the last year.

I performed all the recommended steps and when I reattached the hoses, there was a brisk leak at the right rear clip on the intake side.

Help...my fish are in jeopardy...what should I do?

A: From your description is sounds like the baskets were not lined up before you snapped down the clips. This most happens whens you start with water in the in canister after cleaning instead of letting the aquarium prime the filter when restarting. There is a lot of information already posted in Q&A section about this.
