Default Need help with Aqua OHF Filter Outflow

Hi guys... need some help from you guys!

So im using a 4ft Mr Aqua OHF with a total of 6 filter boxes, total is 2 levels...

its for my ranchu tank.. and i want to minimize the outflow as its creating turbulent which will stress my ranchu..

Is there ways to lower down the outflow besides changing the water pump/powerhead? FYI im using Atman 106 (around 3000litre/hour)

Will have another level of filter help to bring down the outflow?

Thanks a lot!

Stacking higher will reduce the flowrate by a little. Another way is to add more elbows between your pump and ohf.

Go C328 to get a clear PVC pipe the diameter of the discharge elbow and extend it to near the tank wall surface, it will enable the wter to cascade down via the wall and create less agitation for the tank incumbent
