I have a wet/dry filter setup for my 125gal tank. I've never had this kind of filtering system before so i'm kind of new to this. After setting it all up and having it run for 2 weeks i discovered that the water flow through my filter always goes through the same spot in the actual filter pad. See pictures:

As you see in this picture the water always hits just the same spot making the rest of the filter useless. The two spots that the water is hitting are already pretty dirty after only 2 weeks. Is this how this should work? or is there something i should do to actually get the use of the whole filtering pad?
 
you could make a spraybar to fit the pipes you have. drill holes along it and it will disperse the water along the filter sponge
 
Both suggestions are so obviously good ideas and worthy of comment by OP (IMO) :rolleyes:
