Hey everyone, just want to know your opinion on this ides i have, if this is a good idea or you think there are issue with it.
Basically i have the Maxspect gyre powerheads, i don't use them to the max, as i think the high setting is overkill for my tank. Anyway, there is a schedule option on them to set the pump to run at different power and settings, at different times of the day. At the moment my schedule is high during the day and 10% less at night.
My idea is to set the powerheads, to turn on to 100%, or near that, for 1 minute, once a day. The idea is to dislodge and free and uneaten food from the day, giving a change for the fish and corals to consume it again and the filter to pick it up and filter it out. I'll probably do this right before my lights go out, so i don't have to see the messy tank.
Just wondering if anyone else does this, or do you recommend this is something that will help, keep the tank cleaner. Will it stress out the fish, or cause any other problems?
Thanks.
