Extension tube on AquaClear - trim off grating?

Psychlist1972 · August 13th, 2009

When you use the extension tube on an AquaClear power filter (I have the 110) do you snip off the grating on the top tube (the one on the inside)? The reason I ask is I noticed that gunk is hanging up on that instead of going all the way up into the filter media.

Any reason not to?

Good afternoon Pete. I don't see any reason why you couldn't just snip off the grating on the inside of the tube. It will probably function better.

Thanks. I assumed it wouldn't cause any problems, but wanted to ask to be sure.
