placement of filter

[nickn313]

does the filter have to be completely submerged or is it ok if just the region of suction (where the sponge lies) is submerged and the head sticks out?will it cause the filter to malfunction? just wondering..im planning on creating a waterfall or somethng like that for my 29g
thanx

[robflanker]

thats not a filter. thats a water pump

[nickn313]

Yea thats a pump. I meant to say mine looks like that...mines a filter and im 100% sure about that

[mommy1]

the instructions say that it can be used as a water pump a fountain and a filter.

[robflanker]

ive no idea what your filter looks like so i cant tell you. If it follows the same ideals as the water pump, then they often need to be fully submerged (but some dont) - you should read the packaging and see what it says

i got rid of the cover :14: anyway..il think of something...:think: to be on the safer side, il let it stay as it is..
thanx guys!
