has anybody ever redirected their filter intake? Is it possible, will it work? I have a 5gal heavily planted and it seems that the filter intake and impeller get clogged to easily on my aquaclear 20 HOB filter. I was wondering it i could stick an appropriate sized peice of tubing on over the intake, and bury the tube under the gravel where it would lead to the front of the aquarium where there are not as many plants. I would cover the end of the tube with mesh. Do you think this would work. I am just tired of having to take apart my filter every week.
