I was trying to figure out something i could do with an over the tank filter. I am not a fan of them. The water floe was to much for my water dog. i also needed to lower the water level so i could take the tank lid of to get the water temp cooler. I managed to do both with very little effort.
i dug through all my cabinets and found a giant very heavy, wine glass looking thing. (goblet) and a regular heavy duty drinking water glass.
i put the heavy goblet in the tank. Then placed a few stones to help balance the water glass i was putting on top of it. i then placed some stones in the water glass to weight it down. then i placed all of this under the water output of my tank filter.
the water flows in and the out of the drinking glass and then into the big goblet stopping all the motion in the water. it stopped the heavy water current. Super cheap. Its a very good temporary fix if your on a budget and been worrying about stressing out your babies. My water dog is so happy now!!! he is much more active and is eating better now.
here our some pictures of it because it was a little hard to explain. Hope it works for you! let me know what you try!
