Eheim 2211 inlet step down to 9/12mm

[Goththug]

Hi all,

i am thinking of changing the inlet size of 12/16mm to 9/12mm, will that affect the performance or anything related to the filter?
And what accessory should i get in order to step down?

Thanks!

Hi there, it's due to aesthetic purposes. As I'm using a nano tank, a 13mm inlet looks quite big.
