Water Pump question

[rvdfn420]

I have two maxi jets in my reef, right now I dont have the bottom piece on them, its the long 3 inch cone piece. Will this effect wate frlow or does in not matter. I never put them on so they wouldnt show too much.

wont affect water flow direcly, but things can get caught, slowing down the impeller, or preventing water to enter.

You should you put something on it, not the piece you've mentioned though...but some sort of strainer, sponge filter, to prevent things from being sucked up.

Thanks, I will have to find something to put on there.
