Tof10 Solve Aquarium Water Flow Issues With Diy Filter Baffles
Remember, making a baffle for your aquarium filter can greatly improve water flow and filtration, leading to a healthier environment for your aquatic pets. My tank's hob (hang on back) filter flow is too powerful on the second to lowest setting, and keeps kicking up my aqua soil/sand substrate, making my tank murky. At the lowest setting, the hob filter doesn't have enough flow. Used an acrylic soap dish with suction cups and filter media. As a bonus you get a place where benificial bacteria can set up shop !
Trying to baffle the outflow causes increased pressure and water coming out wherever it can. I have a top fin 10 power filter in my ten gallon tank and i'm concerned about the flow strength. The tank is still cycling, so there's no fish in there, but i want to make a baffle ahead of time. If you adjust the angle and direction of the filters outflow, you can have a significant impact on the water flow within your aquarium. This adjustment allows you to control the strength and spread of the water current. Even after making countless baffles out of plastic bottles, the water flow was still too strong. And then, my friend introduced me to this idea. It's a cheap plastic soap dish with suction cups which you can get at walmart or kmart for under five dollars.
