Help with power head questions...

[RDTigger]

I just purchased a new 70 Hagen powerhead for my 30g. It's built for a 75g, is there a way to adjust the overall output?

Put a baffle of some sort, (like eggcrate) in the path of the output, or make a DIY nozzle for the powerhead to widen the output to reduce the flow velocity.

I was afraid I would hear i couldn't adjust the output of the head...

I will have to rig it i guess, but maxing the aeration might help as well.. At least I will be able to adjust the power head in the tank during cycling... no stress to fish while I get it right. Me so

I have a 70 and you can adjust the flow. Just slide the green tab until the flow is where you want it.

Weeeee!!!!

That's great news... It sounds so versatile with an aquarium.

Thats what I was thinking. My Hagen 30 powerhead has a rough adjustment slider & I can turn the intake nozzle for fine adjustment. It even has 1 thru 10 marked on it for reference.

Hmm, mine doesn't. Now I'm confused.
