Hi! This discovery just made my day so I thought I would share.
I had been wanting to add floating plants to my tank, but my flow was always too strong so I had to hold off. I saw this trick on TikTok and I just tried it -- IT WORKED
Just pick up some filter media that you can get at a local fish store or amazon, and kind of wedge it in your hang on the back filter. It doesn't slow the flow down (so your filter will work as normal) but instead disperses the water output so it is gradually flowing to all sides of the tank.
My betta is also super happy now, and it even makes less noise.
