    Trying to get flow pattern right

    So I have an aqueon 29 tank with a fluval 307 canister filter along with 2 hygger mini DC wave makers at 1600gph each. My rockwork is pretty much in the center of the tank. One wave maker is on the right side wall in the lower back corner which is pushing water behind the rockwork to the...

    Powerhead placement

    I have had a Cyanobacteria outbreak and have seemingly good water parameters, granted my tank isn’t the most stable because it is around 3 1/2 months old and fluctuates, I have siphoned most of it and a water change, and will get chemi clean if it persists for a while, but I was wondering if my...

    Hello guys, I need to switch to a larger tank from my nano as it’s getting overgrown and I am going to go with Red Sea reefer 250 g2, now since I don’t have that much money for equipment right now I can’t buy MP40s or an expensive return so my idea was to go with: -Jebao SCP 70 or SCP 90...

    Jebao pump controller?

    Set up my sump and my brand new Jebao DCP 18000 controller won’t let me adjust the flow. It worked fine last night, adjusted speed up and down, no problem. It is not locked. I can press for 3 seconds and it flashes to indicate it is locked or unlocked like it should, but will not allow me to...

    help with flow

    Hey all, I’ve got a question regarding flow for my tank, a Waterbox 20. I have my nero mounted on the left side about two thirds up, but I’ve noticed it kinda gets a dead spot underneath itself with minimal flow, which cyano tends to love:/ My options look at mounting another powerhead in the...

    Enough flow?

    Using the movement of this beautiful algae I’m working on landscaping , Does this flow look good? It’ll be a softie & LPS tank. I was finally able to do some deep maintenance after some procrastination (and replacing my RODI canister) and I decided to swap out a smaller power head I had in this...

    What to upgrade next?

    Hi all! So I have a 125 long LPS dominated mixed reef that I run on a pretty tight budget. I slowly add corals and upgrade equipment over time and it has been up and running for about a year and a half now. Everything is doing well in the tank, most of the corals are growing, albeit slowly in...

    Clogged drain or too much pump

    I've recently replaced the plumbing on my 135gal. The drain is basically a straight shot on one side and about a 6ft stretch on the other. I want to upgrade the pump to get more flow through the filtration and more flow in the tank. I currently have a jebao 4000. Looking to install a dcq10000 of...

    Another Toadstool not opening thread

    Hi everyone, Longtime lurker, first time poster. I've had my tyree toadstool for about a year now. I started with a 5g tank, and boy did he grow quick! In July I set up a 10g IM Nuvo. I let it cycle for a couple months, added some hermits and a goby, a couple zoas, all is well (nitrates are a...

    Anyone with FMK or any of the flow sensors on their tank?

    I've liked to add some flow sensors to my tank. I've had my eye on them for awhile; but the low reviews on BRS have scared me off. Anyone have any experience with these. It seems like the most common complaints it that it restricts flow. One user mentioned his 4700gph pump was only getting...

    Reef Wave Connecting as 25 when it’s a 45

    Hello all!! I am really hoping someone can help me with this so I don’t have to replace the controller completely.

    Flow tips

    I’ve been having some issues with coral growth and one of the things that people recommend I do was get more flow. I have the Fluval evo 13.5 and I purchased a 256 gph power head but no matter where I placed it it thrashed my corals. So I now just ordered the sicce.5 as a pump and was thinking...

    Dosing Pumps with Reverse Cycle to clear tubes?

    I can't single out a dosing pump that has a reverse functionality and was wondering if anyone could list a few. Size doesn't really matter as long as it can be automated to pull fluid back into the reservoir after pushing it into the aquarium. The idea is that you can auto dose refrigerated...

    Been away awhile back with a question

    My old system has become a mess while I was away the last few months and I decided to set up a new system in my basement. There’s a ton of organics in the substrate (over feeding by my “professional” tank sitter) so I could use a fresh start. I have an 8x4 by 28 inch tall pool I will be using...
