Thanks Cody...! It's still on this morning so that's a good thing... I suppose some filteration is better than none...
I run sponge pre-filters on all my filter systems. Be it HOB, canister.
The flow does decrease, but for added filtration. Just need to rinse it out every few days.

Fluval makes a sponge filter/cover that would probably work well. The one I got was for the Edge but the make bigger ones. It did not decrease the flow of the filter BTW. Good luck, and I am sure you will find a good solution!!
buy a extra ac100 filter spong cut it in half . Stab a slice in the middle of it and slide it over your instake tube. Will save your filter and add extra filtration for you. Pluss u wont have to clean the whole filter as often . Due to being prefilterd
I think I may be able to rig something up!! I add an extra layer of sponge filter to the AC's that I have, one can do without a little chunk... Awesome, that makes me feel better... the AC's are powerful little machines, I just hate to see all that flow go to waste...
Thanks guys!!
Thanks guys!!
Use what you can for pre-filtering purposes and then search online for something more suitable for the ac110 for the long run.
I had the same problem with my AC70. Didn't like the look of a pre filter, so I switched back to gravel. I only use sand on my tanks that have sumps now..
