Modding Tunze 6000 streams

Is it possible to get more flow from them?

I cut away every 3rd bar in the intake grille of one of mine. Not sure it improves flow right out of the box - but once algae starts to grow on the intake grate it cuts back flow, and this definitely helps with that.

On a side note, last week when I introduced my new hogfish he got sucked in through one of these larger spaces and spit across the tank! Not a scratch on him though, perfectly fine.

Oh, duh. You can also order the 6100 transformer/driver and plug it into that and turn it into a 6100.

How much more flow is there between a 6000 and a 6100?
