i did what neoprodigy told me to do. I cut the intake of my filter, the part that stops you fish being sucked into the filter, so that its flat and only about 1/8 big. Then i just have that touching the bottom of the tank on either corners of the tank. I then have the output of the filter along the back and using a rainbar have the output pointing down. At the front corner of the tank, on the opposite side you have intake, i have a powerhead blowing all the nastiness towards the intake.
