CHEZURAquarium decisions An invisible intake behind a restrictive screen may become the largest head loss; inaccessible equipment tends to remain dirty.
Rehearse taking out foam, closing taps and removing an impeller before fixing decor. Moving rocks for every service guarantees delay.
Cabinets need moisture tolerance, heat escape and a visible floor for leak checks.
Dense planting catches leaves in front of intakes. Increase area and make local siphoning possible.
Measure flow again after screening: aesthetics changed the hydraulic circuit.
| Situation | What to do | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Screen clogs | Increase open area | Lowers intake velocity |
| Hose kinks | Increase bend radius | Reduces loss and fatigue |
| Filter cannot be removed | Use detachable panel | Service must remain practical |
After increase open area, measure or observe Screen clogs again with the same method. Record Cables and hoses require safe loops. as well; if neither changes as expected, revisit the diagnosis before adding another intervention.
