hahahaha!!! i can just see you and the tiny tubes with a yard stick! awesome.

and i just happen to have some eheim 12/16mm tubing which is ½" I'll swap it out today and let you know how it goes. i know 5' of ½" eheim tubing on drsfostersmith.com is only $3

**bsmith782** · 11-26-2007, 06:51 PM

let me know for sure, maybe since mine is just set up the flow seems like its doing okay.

how long has your been set up btw?

ovenmit331 · 11-26-2007, 07:35 PM

mine's been set up about 2 months. i don't remember the flow being bad at the beginning, but i also wasn't checking. i've changed the filter material once as well.

im thinking that when the carbon is used up i will put a bag of purigen in the area it was.

yeah, i've definitely though about switching to some other type of fliter material, as the ... "here, roll this around the tube in the canister" media doesn't really appeal to me.

yeah it is kinda goofy, i might get some of the filter bags and see how they hold up around the tube.
