Strong filter

Sliding4ever · 04-07-2010, 10:24 AM

I just bought a new tank yesterday and divided it up. It's currently running without the boys in it to give it a chance to settle down. But the filter it came with is extremely strong on the side with the output. Is there anyway that I could slow it down? The way it's set up I can't use a cut bottle, the filter is to big for it. It's a 12 gal tank with a bio-wheel filter.

Any ideas?
Thanks

try buying some sponge and rubber banding it over the outflow. Also raising the water level as high as possible can help too.

I did this as soon I got home last night and it worked great! Thanks!

My only caution about restricting the output is that it can burn up the impeller.
