	Whisper 60 question
Nick Fish Addict 33 Posts: 553 Kudos: 668 Votes: 509 Registered: 09-Aug-2004	The new filter on my 55 gallon hangs too low in the tank, forcing me to keep the water level down below the black brace at the top of the tank. This drives me nuts, I'd like to raise the water level so that the top is not seen. Is there something that Whisper makes for this purpose and if not any ideas on how I could raise it up a bit (approx. 3/4" )? Thanks in advance for any advice.

crazyred Fish Addict LAZY and I don't care :D Posts: 575 Kudos: 360 Votes: 293 Registered: 26-Aug-2005	Is it the Whisper internal filter or an HOB? I have a Whisper internal filter in both of my tanks, and there's very little that can be done, but I would think that if it's an HOB you could put something under the "lip" that would lift it a little. a small piece of wood perhaps? ~~Melissa~~ "Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder."

Wingsdlc Fish Guru What is this? Posts: 2332 Kudos: 799 Registered: 18-Jan-2005	the filter will keep pushing out water even if you have the water line above where the filter hangs in the tank. It just wont give you the water fall effect. Does that help or am i reading this wrong?? 55G Planted tank thread 19G Container Pond [IMG]http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y118/Wingsdlc/Ric
