    Hi!
    Bought Atman 3337 from bro tigershark. After setting up everything, and found that the outlet of the filter is too strong and it came with a rainbar, and that produce a lot of current on the surface of the water.

    1)my tetras r struggling to swim properly
    2)too many current on the surface will increase the loss of co2 right?

    So what to do to reduce the outlet current? I tried to increase the diameter of the rainbar but only can reduce a bit.

    thanks

    Had the same problem, someone taught me to redirect the output of the rainbar against the tank wall. It worked, that slows the flow down a lot.

    Can drilling the holes in the rainbar to make it bigger and direct it against the tank wall...
    Night gathers, and now my watch begins. It shall not end until my death. I shall take no wife, hold no lands, father no children. I shall wear no crowns and win no glory. I shall live and die at my post. I am the sword in the darkness. I am the watcher on the walls. I am the fire that burns against the cold, the light that brings the dawn, the horn that wakes the sleepers, the shield that guards the realms of men. I pledge my life and honor to the Night's Watch, for this night and all the nights to come.

    Or partially shut the valve (if any) of the filter outlet. Do NOT ever do the same for the inlet.

    Why use punctuation? See what a difference it makes:

    A woman: without her, man is nothing.

    I dont think you need to drill the holes bigger, just turn your rain bar around so it faces the tank wall
