Is there a reason you don't use the uplift tubes on your sponge filters?

...yup...the bn's and cory like to get stuck in them....the lift tubes do get used in some tanks tho......Jan's not fond of them either... ;)
Yes, I HATE them. It seems that every time we leave them on the sponges either a cory or a pleco gets stuck in 1 and we have to get them out. There have been times when we had a lot of plants and we didn`t see them, that we didn`t get them out in time and they died. It doesn`t seem to matter if the tubes are on there or not they still work. Jon just goes with it so I don`t complain. lol
OK sounds logical. I did take one off because a pair of Angels insisted on spawning on it. I was under the impression that they were less efficient without the uplift tube. But if you say they still work I might consider taking mine off in BN and cory grow out tanks.

..I believe the tube does make them a bit more efficient.....but they still work well...and we don't lose any this way.. :)
...gotta get these fry moved when I come back on Sunday....... |^|
...Here's the koi fry at about 6wks free swim....... :)....coloring up nicely too... :)
Very nice. I have tank space now. I have two 75s sitting on the floor waiting for me to set them up. I may set one up this weekend. mim mim mim
Coloring up nicely. I'm ready when you are.
So am I. I see mine in there, they have little smiles on their faces. :)
