Hey guys, So I have my 40 breeder set up as a bare bottom tank. I am running into an issue with flow and display cleanliness.
If I kick up my flow to keep detritus off the bottom it just stays suspended in the tank and it never looks clear.
If I lower my tank flow to were I have clear water I get lots of buildup on the bottom.
What do you do to keep the bottom both clear of detritus and the display water clear?
How much flow are you pushing in your display?
I am currently running 3 MP10s at varying rates throughout the day. They're mostly set up on Reefcrest at 100%, there's a part in the day where it does 2 hours of short pulses in anti sync between the left and right MP10. then 2 hours of nutrient transport mode.
I used to have the third MP10 on the bottom back so that things wouldn't settle in the back but that just caused things to settle in a front corner so now I have it in the front towards the bottom.
Whats your recipe for success?
