Filter baffling Questions...!

[bettaluver14]

As i say in recent threads i'm so excited to be getting my male VT a new 10gal. but, the filter is a penguin biowheel 100 and i'm nervous the intake and/or out flow will be too strong - , -. People tell me i can baffle using fluval sponges,water bottles, etc. but how exactly?!?!?! i don't wanna baffle it wrong and have issues - . -. i want my boy to have the best new suprise home :3

I used a water bottle cut in half and duct taped to my filter. Does a decent job. Uploading a video of my filters baffled really fast for ya :3

I do not baffle my intakes because they don't seem to bother either fish too much but you may need to watch carefully after installing yours to see if it does bother your fish. I often catch the betta swimming against the current of the outtake just for fun (I think :P ).

i like your rings lmbo! and thanks!!! so i cut a water bottle long-ways and rubber band it to the outflow and it kinda makes a fountain thing?

and what kinda filter do u have??

I have a Marineland Biowheel in the betta tank and two 40-60g Tetra filters in the goldfish tank. I used tape but a rubber band would probably work better :p

Tankuu :3 I love my rings too xD

hahaha and the 10gal i'm getting comes with a penguin 100 biowheel!!!!! :D wait so if i'm going to have 5 neon tetras and my male VT in a 10gal with that biowheel filter... will that be good enough? cause it's a strong filter i only need that one right? and the biowheel intake didnt rip your betta's tail or suck him up right?! lol i just wanna make sure for mine :3

No tail damage on mine yet but I'm not sure if a 10 will be enough. :X I'm not good with the numbers part..
