Hello everyone, good morning.
I have a question, and hope this is the right area to pose it.
My 55gal fw tank has a Penguin 350 filter on it, which I have on the far left side of the tank. It seems to do pretty well keeping the water clear, but today, my son overfed the fish a little bit, and on the far right side of the tank, the food is still just floating on the top of the water. I can't move the filter more centrally because of the crossmember support in the middle of the tank. The filter won't sit level because of the rounded support, and the width of the filter in relation to the cover of the aquarium.
All of this background to ask, is it advisable to add a 90 degree bend on the bottom of the intake, and an extra length of tubing to basically "move" the intake to the right of the tank? Or am I just being obsessive compulsive?
By the way, my tank is in cycle, 0.25 amm, 0.5 nitrites, 0 nitrates, lost my pH test bottle (new one on the way from amazon), water temp is 76-78F cycling fish in with serpae tetra.
Thanks in advance for your input.
