Anyone know how to lessen my flow without getting a new one. On a budget at the moment but feel it’s pumping too much. It’s a 4 week old tank but not sure what kind of powerhead. It has two heads to it though for a 70 gallon tank
 
If it is an AC power head there is no way. If it is DC then you can use the included controller.
 
Would help to know what kind of powerhead. You can probably adjust its position (point it into the glass to break up the flow).
 
There is really no way to make the flow less on one of those.
You could however make the power head point wither upwards a little or bounce the flow off a tank wall to indirectly disperse the flow which should work.

Or just zip tie a section of window screen infront of the propellers. That will slow the flow for sure.
