hey nagakush, i am having the same issue. Just purchased a 2217 after much advice that its the best thing since sliced bread and it is.
When first installed in my 200 litre cube aquarium, it was like a cyclone while using the spray bar vertically, so just moved the bar up to a diagonal placement on the back wall and removed the little cap from the end of the spray bar....this seemed to sort out the flow, but still very strong and my plants look like the're in a cyclone.
What did you do in the end and did it work? I've turned the output valves down a little and this worked better...but has your pump been affected by the back pressure?
