How long have you had it set up? Could just be because it's new & just needs to run for a bit

I got it with the tank off some guy so about 5 days last night I tried moving the reurturn outlet and the pipe came off and water started coming out should the pipe come off so easily

My filter does that if the intake and return tubes aren't fully submerged. I have to make sure the water covers the spots where the tubes attached to each other or else it sucks in air. I couldnt figure that out for the longest time. Try filling your tank really high to cover everything

If you are on a cell phone click the up arrow on the left side of the reply bar. That will give you the option to attach a photo. (Looks like a Paper clip)

Make sure the intake is a submerged as you can get it. After all the air is worked out from being opened and refilled it should stop unless it is sucking air somewhere. Those don't look like original intake and output tubes.

My intake is on the left. If they can't go under water try placing some clear tape where the tubes meet that's above the water. Maybe that will deal it and no air can get stucked it.
