I have a 10gal cube that has been running since MACNA. As of right now it has the rock we got with the tank, anAqua Clear 70 with BRS GFO in a mesh bag and some marine pure balls, a heater set to 77, and a zetlight pico light.
For critters I have a bunch of dwarf cerith snails, which bred so about a billion, three blue leg hermit crabs, and three other kinds of snails but I forget what they are. Maybe a margarita, the small nerite, and a Florida trochus? I also have two corals, an alveopora and a blasto.
My biggest concern is that in the front corner of the tank the flow is quite strong. I have added some rubble to minimize as otherwise it would be completely bare. I have my filter set to the lowest flow, I’m not sure what else I could do.
I don’t want to put a lot of sand covering rock or change the scape a lot because I am getting a gobie and snapping shrimp combo on Wednesday.
My other option is to get an aqua clear 50 and switch them out. I am kind of bummed about that option because I custom cut the lid to fit the 70 to avoid jumping. I think the 50 is smaller in such a way that it will leave gaps. Doing the lid was difficult and I would prefer to avoid that if possible, but will if I need to.
Thoughts?
