I put two in my tank and the flow and circulation of these PHs for the price is AMAZING! Wouldn't use anything else unless I was given Ecotechs.

To do a mesh mod on my Kent Naut TE would that be the equivalent of taking a piece of composite window screen over the input in the cylinder to make the bubbles finer?
