Too much flow

[TEXASFIST210]

I have a 6 g cube tank I'm trying to set up for seahorses
but the filter seems to be throwing a little to much water flow what's the
best way to slow it down I was thinking about wrapping some sponge around it???
Pm me to see pics of the filter

i'd stick a piece of sponge or filter material around the intake to the pump/filter.....just some form of restriction. Depending on if it is a cylindrical intake (tube), you could try and find a gate valve that fits it so that it would be more accurately adjustable. If the return is in the shape of a nozzle you could try and connect a diffuser to it..... sorry, this is all I can think of. I just saw your post getting no action and thought I would throw some thoughts at ya.

yeah, same here...you could also just cut a fish net and wrap it around the intake and hold it there with a rubberband provided it's a tube intake as mentioned above.

another idea is to have your rock work breach the water surface right in front of the filter return...it would block some of the flow

if it has a prop you can cut the fins smaller but be careful. what kind of filter is it??
