Sponge Filter On Intake ?

[kiriyama]

Hi, I am running 2 simple sponge filters from an air pump in a fry tank.
Although thay are doing there job there is no mechanical filtration and the bottom of the tank gets quite messy, when cleaning the tank I am scared of sucking up any fry.
I was wondering if I could use an external filter and take one of the sponge filters and place it on the inlet pipe ?
I could reduce the flow so the fry are not in a washing machine environment
Any feedback on this greatly appreciated

Yes you can, this is a common procedure in fry tanks.

Cheers Tolak, will do.
Hmmm , just wondering, did I cut to much off those hoses?
