Hi all,

I just got my Eheim 1250 from D-Tek and noticed that the out-take is only 3/8". This system will be 1/2". Is this going to restrict the flow noticeability even if i get DDan's Pump Adaptor? I'd really like to replace the 3/8" barb with 1/2" but i can't find any stores here that sell eheim parts. As much as we love DDan, his adaptor looks a little ghetto

another question is about that blue sponge. when i opened the box, the sponge was outside of the eheim. the manual shows the sponge inside the gray cage. (dumb question) should i put the blue sponge in the cage as described or did d-tek/eheim leave it out for a reason?
