Melanie Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 My fish knocked their filter down off of the wall to the bottom of the tank. Strangely enough, the fish seem to be more active with it sitting on the bottom! What level should a filter be set at in an aquarium?

Caryl Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 If you mean an internal canister, I always put mine so the water flow is just far enough below the water surface to ripple the surface without making a noise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melanie Posted June 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 Mine's too low, then. I need to move it up a bit farther. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 It doesn't matter. In smaller tanks mine sits on the bottom as that is the only place for it to go! As long as it is creating a good flow of water throughout the tank it will be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluetom Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 mine sits on the bottom as well, the most important thing is to break the surface tension to get the water airated. I think you could put it just about anywhere in your tank and it would be fine. I like the pics by the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
