    Hi all, I currently have a canister filter under my 46 gallons bowfront reef tank. I hate it. While it gets the job done I was always thinking of one day replacing it with a sump. Now I see there is this Sicce Shark Pro submersible filter that looks really cool. Should I go with that or would I...

    Need advice on how to eliminate dead spots.

    My rock work is an arch. I have detritus and waste build-up in the back left corning and in the center. There is an additional rock in the back left corner that may be preventing some flow. The back wall also gets some detritus as well. 35 gal Waterbox AIO Mighty Jet return pump 500gph-ish that...

    Alternative filter options to add flow?

    My bigger issue is a have really low flow in my 20g tall. I had a power head in there that could go as low like 130 gph if I remember correctly. I turned it off after my coral banded shrimp had a rough molt and now can’t keep his footing if I turn it back on. I have seen people use sponge...

    Can anyone recommend a suitable wavemaker for my Waterbox Marine X 35.1 33g (18"x18"x18") bubble tip anemones tank? Currently using an Octopulse 2 off another tank but it's way too powerful.

    I have a jebao croos flow in my reefer 350 and pushes a ton but I need something on opposite side. Thinking a mp40 but cost is way higher for simply no wires inside tank.

    Do I need two power heads in a nano?

    I have a Red Sea max nano that’s a very mixed reef. Right now I have the stock pump and one Nero 3 powehead on 20-60% facing different directions. Should I get a second Nero 3?
