Chewyrat77 Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Is two fx4s on a 125 with 3 of the 4 nozzles pointed at the surface too much flow/current for mollies, endlers, corydoras, dwarf gourami? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisdis Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 (edited) I had some surface agitation from my fx4 in my 65 gallon. I stuffed a pre filter sponge in my intake and stretched 2 pre filter sponges over my discharge. It completely stopped the surface agitation with no stress on the pump.

Chewyrat77 Posted January 20, 2021 Author Share Posted January 20, 2021 That's the mini correct? I have one of those coming in my order for the intake on my 10 gallon. Maybe I'll see if I like what it does. I do like the surface agitation though since I have only one airstone in the 125. Have alot of large rocks (fake universal rocks) in there and some plants from elite cichlids coming. All that may help break up the flow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisdis Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Yea they kinda hard to fit over the outputs but they dont come off easily. I still have surface agitation but it slows down a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewyrat77 Posted January 20, 2021 Author Share Posted January 20, 2021 Yeah. I just got my order today and that seems like it would be really hard to get over that. Looks like it will fit the intake on my 10 gallon perfectly though. I'll have to wait and see how the flow affects the fish after I get them in there.
