Just before I get the 4 little pbass I have one last question. I have an aquaclear 110 on the 20 gallon they are going into but I have some concerns that it may be too powerful as some fish have gotten stuck to the intake in the last couple months. I am unsure if they were already suffering from some other ailment but have any of you ever had this problem? I almost feel like putting them into the 90 gallon with a tank divider and feeding the oscar less with dialy water changes might be a better idea, what do you guys think?
 
Dial down the intake strength by pushing the intake pipe to the right?
 
It should be fine. I had an Emp 400 on a 20g once...cleanest tank I ever had :D
 
just put a fake plant by the intake of your filter.
 
Better yet slip a sponge filter over the intake
 
There really is no such thing as too much filtration...too much current maybe, for the juvies, but not filtration.
