Will be posting an updated version soon.

I like to over filter my tanks so I use a Aquaclear 50 on my 20 gallon tall. At its full output, the current is too strong for the tank so I designed a current deflector that snaps right onto the filter and lowers the kinetic energy of the water as well as redirecting the current along the back wall. A nice side effect of this deflector is that you if you keep the water level about 10 mm beneath the deflector, you can get a nice shimmering light effect.

I believe the aquaclear 30 has the same dimensions as the 50, if that's the case it should fit that too with no adjustment.

I included all my iterations so you can see my thought process while designed the deflector. The version you should use is Aquaclear Deflection mk4.5 under hood as it will fit under a hood.
