Do you have a Petco nearby?

Plenty.

 

[cdemoss01]

Likely shedding. Takes a day or two.

What powerheads do you use?

 

[tbrown]

Plenty.

Most of my fish and snails come from Petco. Make sure the fish in the tank look healthy or don't buy anything from that bank of fish tanks. They tend to be cheaper than most LFS, but they don't often practice good husbandry or take super good care of their tanks.

Yes I agree, there tanks SUCK. Sadley most petcos are out of turbos around me, plenty of ceriths but they dont sell trochus snails.

What would happen if I were to get better powerheads?

Trochus can be a challenge to find most of the year. Stomatellas usually come as Hitchhikers so check the tanks and see if you see on crawling around. Ask if they'll "re-home" it to you. Usually they only charge $1-$2 for that. Not legally allowed to sell it since they didn't purchase it but sometimes they'll sell it as a Cerith or something.

Your corals and fish will either love you or hate you...

Anytime you change lighting or flow corals have to adjust. Sometimes they refuse, other times they thrive.

Interesting. I if I had the money I'd just pay for shipping. Guess its time to work at a summer camp this summer.

Interesting. I don't have too much in there two very hardy corals, leather and toadstool sure they'd be fine.

@00W I've seen you speak on jebaos are they good?

 

[cdemoss01]

Can fish be killed from too much flow??

 

[luis angel]

I need to replace my powerhead on the right or honestly possibly both. I wanna do a controllable one like a Jebao. Anyone got experience with those?

It seems to me that you are trying to make too many changes at the same time. If there is one thing that this hobby has, it is that you have to be patient. Go step by step and that way you can discover the cause of the problem. Many sudden changes at the same time can cause you other types of problems. Just my humble opinion.

True true, I have a lot of problems to fix. Main two would be Gha and flow. Plan is to scrub rocks, add a lot more CUC, add pom pom, and finally powerheads jebao.

They can be stressed by too much flow which can lead to premature death.

 

[tbrown]

What are you currently running for flow?

@00W I've seen you speak on jebaos are they good?

All I use.
Never had an issue.
I've had some for 5 years or more still chugging through massive coralline.
Ebay, Amazon make sure you buy new ones.

Well... I am currently running a Fluval thing.. and a very odd marineland one
