flow

Looking for recommendations on Powerhead placement based on the photos of my scape below. I often have sand getting kicked up regardless of location. Tried this layout last night and this is the result. IM ext75 3x2x2 2nd week after cycle Dmp30s typically on lowest setting (random) Carribsea...

I am starting up a 25g reef tank with high flow and I added a royal gramma as the first fish. I have had him for a week and when I added him, he went straight for a spot where the flow pushes him against a rock and does not move much. He darts out every now and then for food and will circle...

20 Gal IM nuvo tank, should I stick with this or change it up? If you can add a picture of your scape for inspiration that would be great too. Planning for fish and coral, also have a large shelf I’ve broken into smaller pieces to make some shelves all over the scape let me know your input.

When I got my elegance at the LFS it displayed long flowing tentacles, but since adapting it to my system, it tends to expand the “disc” portion, with the tentacles remaining fairly short like tassels. It’s still super healthy— I’ve had it a full year now— but I wish there was a way I could...

Hello everyone, I would like your opinion. Where is should place my wave makers. I have 2 pcs Nero 3 Tank dimensions 45X45X39

I have read that sometimes GSP will go dormant for weeks and come, but I’m so concerned about mine because I can’t tell if it needs more/less light and flow, and if there is algae growing on it that I should clean off. I will put some pictures in that I got yesterday night , although they are...

Hey i have two tunze nanostream 6045 on the lowest settings in a red sea reefer 200 g2+. I just added my first fish and the flow still seems too strong i was wondering if this is normal or if not what i could do about it.

I've had a 20long tank up and running for a little over a year now with a mix of corals and a couple small fish. I decided I wanted to turn this long shallow tank into just a coral garden and bought a larger tank to do essentially fish only, and moved all of my fish over to that. I then...

Hey all. I've been researching diatoms and Dinos all the last two days. Here's where I'm at: I neglected my tank for a few months And had a bloom of what I thought was cyano. I wiped it out with chemiclean and an air stone in 3 days. Well a month later it's back, so I'm not sure it's cyano, as...

I am currently setting up a softie and lps tank. I put an Icecap FP100 in and keep having the issue of it blowing the sand and creating bare spots. I am using Fiji pink sand. Any help in dialing in the settings to create good enough flow without disturbing the sand would be great!

Hello, I've recently set up a random flow generator on my 25g AIO waterbox and have a few questions. It seems to have significantly weakened the "force" of the flow coming out. If I put my finger 2-3 inches away from the nozzle I barely feel the flow, when before on the standard attachment it...

Hi everyone! relatively new here after lurking for months. Like the title says, I have a new Duncan and am curious if my flow is too much where it's currently located. it's BEAUTIFUL and I want it to grow and be healthy. so many conflicting things about low flow or medium to high flow for...

I have two AI orbit 2s. Anyone have any recommendations on how to set them up? I want them across each other and in anti sync. Thank you for the help.

Hey guys I’ve had the Fluval evo set up for a while now and everything is going well minus a few hair algae outbreaks which have thankfully been chomped successfully by the turbos! I want more flow in the tank because I have an apparent dead spot where food tends to settle and also the...

I am converting my 35G hex tank to salt. Each side is 11.5 inches with a 23 inch diameter. The issue I am concerned about is the powerhead, as virtually any spot on the glass would hit the rock/coral in the middle (downside of a hex :disappointed-face:) except when placed above the formations...

Hey folks - My tank has been up and running for several months now, and I just cant seem to get the flow right. I have an innovative marine 20 with a single MP10, pics below from the front and side. The main problem I am having is that when I run the mp10 low (tidal swell, max 10%) I get a...

My Fluval EVO 13.5 AIO is reaching it's 6 month mark, with issues arising and being resolved. However this time, I have something that has began to reoccur that I'd like to ask more experienced reefers on their opinions and troubleshoot less, opposing troubleshooting once a month when the issue...

Hi there, Long time lurker, first time poster :). I'm looking for some flow advice for my tank. I have an AquaOne AquaReef 300 tank which is about 5 years old with Fish Only, Live Rock and about 1 inch of crushed coral sand bed. Ever since I have had the tank I have faced a constant battle...

Hi all, I have a tank with a single 1.5" overflow and a custom sump. I am thinking of adding the ReefMat 500 and saw that the input is only 1". My question is does anyone have an idea of how much of a reduction in flow would adding a 1.5" to 1" reducer would create? My return pump is a...

Hi guys. I’m moving into my first house soon and instead of trying to transfer my current tank within a day, I thought I’d just set up a brand new system and slowly bring my fish/corals over as my newer tank establishes. My quiestion is what’s the best go to tank? I’m looking around 1.5m...
