Juwel tank - fish in the filter

[supersuli]

1" above the slots in the filter housing...doesnt that mean that the filter will be completely submerged in the water, becasue currently mine is not.

Well the max fill line on my rekord 96 leaves about half an inch of the filter box slots above the water line

what I did, was went to the petstore, to the filter media section, and found myself a nice porous filter sponge . I slit it open at one end and slipped it over my intake tube. It hasnt clogged up on me, and is working quite nicely now.

Someone on here gave me the tip, to not use nylon, but a media sponge.. THANKS!

I noticed that as well. I keep the water level lower down. I went and looked at my tank before I posted to be sure. I am going to top the water level up to the line tomorrow when I do a water change. because thinking about it I probably have quite a bit less than 96l if the level is too low. It must be ok if Juwel have put the line there.
