RE: plumbing the outflow of a Magnum HOT filter

Sarah,

What you can do is, use a diffusor, I have some around if you can't find any
give me a email off list, just a spray bar type method of slowing the
current down, turns the one outflow, into as many as you'd like. Let me know
if you need to find some. Hope this helps. Plastic Spray bar is what you are
looking for, you can get them with adaptor's already to put right on the
magnum.

Subject: OT: plumbing the outflow of a Magnum HOT filter


Hello all,
this may be a little off topic, but can anyone point me to a good
source of info about methods of taming the outflow of a HOT Magnum?
I recently dismantled the biowheel, and now the solitary outflow
current is blasting around my tank and making my fish nervous.  I'm
concerned that adding a flow regulator might put too much strain on
the motor, so I'm more interested in running some sort of "diffuser
hose" down around the base of the tank so that I can hide it and
generate a more gentle current.  I couldn't find anything on the
Krib, but I may have been looking in the wrong place.  Does anyone
have experience with regulating and/or redirecting the flow from one
of these filters?

Thanks,

Sarah LeGates
