Refuguim
I have an Aquaclear 500 which i'd like to use as a refugium. I had a thicker piece of plexiglass cut to slide in against the motor housing. Although my flow is still too much. Is there a way to slow this flow? Any ideas would be appreciated.....thanks.

Howdy,
Take the black ring off the bottom in the intake tube in the impeller area. I have an AC500 on my 10G and this really helped to lower the flow to a managable level. I also put my plexi baffle on a couple inches right of the impeller housing as well and I think that helps. The last thing I did way put a little rio power head under the waterfall of the AC500 to help break up the flow and it seems to work very well. Hoepfully this helps? Greg |
Can you switch the impellar for one from a smaller model? Such as a 150 or 200? I think that reduces the flow...

I haven't tried it but what if one cuts a few of the impeller blades off?
