Hello I have an aqua Euro 1/13 running with a eco 185 pump 158(gph) and I am wondering how I can reduce the flow of the return. I think a spray bar would work but how should i go about doing that? could I just take a soft vinyl tube seal the end and poke some holes in it? or should I use pvc? Thank you for your time.

How to lower flow from chiller return?

You should be able to buy a spraybar and some tubing from a petstore or ebay. I normally use eheim or fluval brand.
You can reduce the water current evenmore by pushing the spraybar into some koi filter sponge. The sponge will dissipate current to almost nothing without reducing the flow rate.

You can make a spray bar like you suggest. You could also point the outflow against the aquarium wall - that will help a little. You could also point the outflow upwards and let gravity reduce the force as it comes back down.

Shane douglas:with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??+1

Thorninmyside:Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation+1

Clareclare:Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?+1
