Length of inlet tubes on Emperor 400?

Postby gebo on Wed Jan 22, 2003 12:16 am

When you install hang-on power filters, how far down do you want the water inlet pipe to go? Halfway down, 75% down, to within 2 inches of the bottom???? I'm gonna be running 2 filters if that makes any difference.

I usually put mine at different lengths when I use two (or more) filters.Like say one at 10" down and one a few inches off the bottom.
I always figured it would provide different levels and better circulation - thats just my thoughts not sure if it actually makes a difference or not,but it's worked so far.

I also run my filters a little deeper then some people just because I like to be able leave my filters run or run long as possiable while doing water changes.
