Get a largish cylinder of foam media (pond section in LFS), dig out the center to about half way through then push it over the intake. Not only does this not restrict the flow but it acts as an extra biological filter site.

Shouldn't you be looking to the right?

Doesnt it already have a small intake strainer? My Aquaclear 20's both have little strainers, I haven't modified anything and they are fine in the tank.
You can also buy filter attachments for them at most LFS for less than £5.

I don't bite, all that often...
^^Aye that stuff will do to make a strainer with. A trick to get a hole in it, is to freeze the foam in a small amount of water, and drill into it while frozen

Bloody brilliant idea!
I picked away with a large pair of tweesers Yes 'Phage', thats the thing, if you need to trim it down a bit an electric carving knife does the trick
How about setting the power head on top of something like this. I find a power head the perfect driver for a sponge filter.
Of course other sizes are more suitable to other tanks and power heads. I use one of these as the only filter on a 40 gallon breeder NPT.
