jetajockey said:You might have to diffuse the output if it pushes it around alot. I've never had an issue with this but I use canister filters rather than HOBs. HOBs also push sand around so people often stuff more filter floss into them to diffuse the flow, or make a DIY diffuser.
If it's cloudy then you have two choices, either let it settle or do a water change. When you are adding water back to the tank, use a plate or a bowl to spray the water onto so that it is not stirring up the substrate.
I know the plate method. I use canisters too, how do you diffuse it other than a spraybar?
