I'm using a canister filter on a FW tank and have a question about the intake suction power.
Does the pumps output nozzle determine the amount of sucking power for the intake? EX: I'm using a Fluval FX4. For ease of explanation lets say the factory output nozzle is 1" ID. If I use a different output nozzle that's larger than 1" ID it will obviously spit out the water with less force but will it also cause the intake to not pull water in as hard too?
Hope that make sense.
