Hi everyone, my 50 gallon tank has an Eheim 2217 canister filter. The tank is 4 foot long and the filter spray bar is length wise at the top. I thought the flow was strong for my angelfish so I drilled a couple more holes which helped a bit. However, when my angelfish venture to the top of the tank (which is angelfishes preferred spot, right?) it seems like they have a bit of trouble swimming. I'll post some videos soon to show what I mean. However, there is many spots in the tank with minimal flow.
How can I reduce the flow rate so they aren't blown around when they come up to eat or beg for food, yet keep adequate water circulation? I don't want it to be stagnant. I could drill more holes in the spray bar. I guess I should post a video.
My angelfih are growing slow and I feel this may be why :/ and some of their fins have little bends.
