I was running my (2) 50 gal outside power filters in tandem for awhile since one was new. The motor on my older one was failing. I had actually forgot to put the carbon in the new one so it was just running through the sponge-in-the time.

I have seen this happen when adding fresh activated carbon - for some reason, it
takes about 2-3 days before the toxin, whatever it is, kicks in. Did your new
OPF have fresh carbon in it? Did you notice any discoloration of the water,
esp, a milky white discoloration?
