    Reduce Water Flow

    Hey pls,

    I have a 12 gallon nano cube and I cant figure out how to reduce the water flow at the bottom of my tank.

    I have been moving the plastic pump extension for hours and its seems like every time I turn it things only gets worse.

    I have some mushrooms and they dont look too happy because of the water flow situation.

    Any help will be appreciated.

    Welcome to Reefland!

    Depending on the output size of the pump extension you may be able to find a defuser for it or split it with a "Y" connector. That will reduce the direct flow and should help keep you mushrooms happy...
