Hey y'all!
I am currently running 2 Aquaclear 110's in my 75 gallon freshwater tank. When shopping for the filters, one of the requirements for me is that it had to have a flow control option, which these claim to have. The problem is, there is barely a difference, if any, between the high/low settings. I have attempted to reduce the flow with DIY baffles (my DIY skills are horrible). While it has helped somewhat, it's still pretty strong. I have floating plants and it seems they are always either getting stuck against the intake filter sponge when being pushed down or they are in a never ending sinking/floating cycle. Not to mention how at feeding time the food gets blasted EVERYWHERE! It's making me crazy!!
Another thing is it seems to be moving the sand towards the front of the tank which raises even more questions/concerns that I believe needs it's own thread in a different forum. Anyway...
My questions are,
How do I decrease this flow?
How to keep my floaters floating?
How to make feeding less messy?
Any advice, tips, tricks, techniques, hacks anything...
Will be much appreciated!!
TIA![fish :fish: :fish:](/images/smilies/ipb/fish.gif)
