I added a Tunze Osmolator Nano to my 40 breeder that has an Aquaclear 110 filter. The plastic frame on top of the tank limits how high I can mount the Osmolator float switch and the water level is lower than I'd like:
The float switch itself isn't adjustable. The water level is low enough that the lip of the Aquaclear 110 is above the water line and the flow coming out of it is noisy and bubbles:
I'd really like to tame the bubbles. I cut a piece of acrylic to act as an extension of the filter's discharge lip. That seems to work well when I hold it in place. So I can probably figure out a way to glue it on take care of the problem.
I could also cut the plastic rim at the top of the tank so the float switch can be raised up. I'm not sure what that would do to the integrity of the rim though.
Which option does R2R think best?
Thanks!
