I've just watched the most recent youtube video by Aquarium design group, 'small aquarium strategies' and the associated live stream. One thing most notable from the video is they often stepped down the filter outlet size to increase flow, in the livesteam video Jeff Senske mention many well know filter manufactures have potentially oversized the filter hose in the eyes of an aquascaper where good levels of flow is often important. Having had a minor niggle with the flow on my 250l tank and having a spare 12mm filter outlet I swapped one of the 16mm outlets fitted and have to say I'm quite impressed with the difference, I understand that I may have lowered the overall output of the filter but certainly the velocity of the water leaving the outlet has increased.
Thought this may be of interest to some people and perhaps something many people may have overlooked when having issues with flow, link to ADG youtube channel
