Hey everyone,
I have a Fluval 306 in a 56 gallon freshwater tank. The tank is cycled and I've been slowly adding fish. I've started with a large school of neon tetras. Unfortunately, on several occasions, I've found the poor little guys sucked up into the filter and then they, subsequently, died. Can anyone give me some easy DIY ideas on safe ways to cover the filter intake until they get big enough to swim away or not get sucked up? I have adjusted the filter water flow lever in the hopes of slowing down the water flow and therefore slowing down the intake, but I'd like to prevent this even further, if possible.
Thanks!
