i started the post cus the flow of the out take seems to bother my gars a bit so i was thinking if it might be to much but never thought about the spray bar idea ... gonna get the spray bar .. but they poop so much its insane. i have a sand substrate that i need to vaccum frequently or itll look like a poop substrate

yea i just got rid or sand for that reason. it aways looked so messy. but as stated here already, no such thing as too much filtration.

Ok...good deal. Wasn't 100% sure if the question was too much filtration, too much return tube flow, or both. The spray bar idea should help.:)

I know what you're saying. I have 4 gar in my tank (12" to 18+"). I have an FX5 and an HOB filter on this tank.
do you do the vaccuming frequently to?. cus the problem i have is if i dont than itll add alot of ammonia in the water and if i leave it on the sand to long itll sink into the sand and make it look really bad..
