I have had success with tying a thicker nylon stocking around the intake. Look up DIY Filter baffle and you will probably find some more ideas.

Use this: http://www.petfish.net/articles/Do-I...urrentkill.php

and you can add these to your intake tube: http://www.petsmart.com/product/inde...ductId=2752987

You mean for a waterfall type filter? I don't know I've never tried, but the bottle one really works. :) I've had it set up on all my tanks.
