Thats removed and its just the 1 nozzle now. It still seems really weak.
The tank that it is on is also fairly tall, so that may have something to do with it.
I've got
2 xp3's and an eheim 2028 (along with 18" bubble wand and seio 620 power head) on my 125g african cichlid tank...............love them all. What I did to help the flow rate a little was drill out the holes on the xp3's spray bars a couple gages bigger.........i think it helped............also if you are running the spray bar make sure it is paralell to the ground but spin the spray bar so it is angled up a little just past flowing straight out......that way it agitates the surface, especially if your water level goes down a little from evaporation.............I personally have my eheim agitating the surface on thge left side of the tank ( my angle concept), and my seio 620 angled up and towards the front of the tank on the far right rear of the tank. both my xp 3's are angled down at a 45 deg angle (1 on each side of tank), and my 18" bubble wand is on the far left bottom side of the tank (bubbles flow up and left to right being pushed from the xp3 and the eheim on that side..................
I used to run 3 AC 110/500's on that tank, along with the bubble wand but I just like the simplicity (i think) of the canisters and the fact that i can pretty much flush mount the tank (maybe 2 inches from the wall) with my new canister setup!!!!!!!!!!
I must admit that
I do miss the better surface agitation from the AC filters but
I do not miss the everpresent waterfall sound in my bedroom (tank since moved to basement)...................Both type filter have +/- 's , you just have to decide what kind of setup you desire and are comfortable maintaining and living with!!
Now go my MFK friend in to the land of filters, try not to go semi mad like I wandering the aisles of the Lfs's comparing boxes and flow rates etc..........try a couple different filters and see what ya like then.............hell if it sucks...............Petco and Petsmart etc have wonderful return policies!!!!!! hahahahaha!!!! Good luck bro!!!
