I have been struggling for 2 day now, trying to put the top back on. It seem to be impossible to to lock the clips. It has been a bit hard for sometime but now its impossible and my fish has been without pump and filter. If anyone know what to do, please help I am just about to cry of frustration.

I'm sorry for such a late response (I haven't been reading this regularly)!

I had a lot of trouble locking the clips on my bioforce - I'd have to kneel on the whole thing to try and force it into place. But then someone suggested the problem was the gasket (or O-ring) getting stuck, so I put some plumber's grease on the gasket and whoooosh, it all closed up easily. Maybe that'd help yours too?
