HI, I have a filter question. hopefully someone is familiar with my filter - marineland penguin 150. I have a 20 gallon tank. I am in the middle of doing a fish IN cycle and got me an angles plus active filter. I have cut it up and stuffed it in my filter.
so here is my question: the part where the water flows out of the filter into the tank. next to it is a small "hole" where water can come out also. BEFORE I added the angels active filter stuff I never noticed water coming out of this other hole, now I do. I am now thinking that I have stuffed so much stuff in there that it is not acutally circulating any water through that filter. the bio wheel is still turning and water is still flowing out of the big space, but water is also coming out of the smaller hole too.
if I remove some of the extra angels plus filter stuff I can reduce or actually eliminate the water from coming out of this little hole. so what should I be doing?
did I add too much of the angels plus filter so that it is not actually circulating any water through it?
