I was referring to using them on tanks with other fish... sorry! blushing.gif
Will it take too much air out of the water for guppies/ tetras/ etc?

Fishwatcher, I've only ever kept bettas and am pretty amateurish to what is needed for other fish, so I'm not completely sure on the answer to your question. I do know that it's the same amount of water coming out through the output, but it's dispersed to the sides and doesn't fall straight down into the tank (creating an underwater current). I *think* someone mentioned putting a blocker into a community tank that had a betta in it and I don't remember them having a problem but I can't say for sure. Perhaps if it was a worry, you could also add an air stone?

As far as blocking movement on the air stone, I don't have any answer on that one.

I posted about this before in a reply to someone else's thread, but I decided to give it a shot today instead of the filter foam/nylon methods I've tried so far. It works beautifully. Here's the page that gives the instructions:

http://www.petfish.net/currentkill.htm


This is an old, but interesting thread. I used another method to obstruct the current in my Eclipse 3. This is much simpler than what I did. The how-to link is out of date.

Here's the new link: http://www.petfish.net/articles/Do-It-Your...currentkill.php

Forgot to thank the OP for the great info on cutting the output- Thank you!

On a side note though, is anyone else having problems with the plastic shifting after setting the hood down? I have an Eclipse 3 and I can only seem to get half of the current cut, since the plastic sort of gets scooted to the left when I close the hood over it. I've tried taping it and nothing seems to work. unsure.gif

Edit: I've since figured it out. Gave it a good old fashioned trimming and now it's working like a charm! wub.gif

Well that's a realy nice thing to add to a filter. I wish i had done that
when i had bettas.. They would have had an easier life.. I was
trying some floating stick thing and it failed.. Thank you for posting the
link, wheelyfeet.

I know this thread is old. But I recently got a 2.5 gal for my betta and i want to do this with my filter, but the link no longer works! Can anyone tell me how to do this? My little Patton would be oh so happy to know!

Thanks! biggrin.gif
