Hey all,
So I'm not exactly sure how to confirm this, but I was performing maintenance on my tank last night and was moving a little sand around because my powerhead's current was creating a dune. I have one LARGE piece of liverock where a pistol shrimp lives. At the entrance to his tunnel, I moved some sand and there was some brownish debris that came up and dispersed through the water. It looked at though there wasn't much current there and am wondering if there's a deadspot there. My return nozzle and powerhead face each other so that the current from each meet then go downward. Should I move them in such a way that the current turns into a circulation of sorts? Worried about detritis build up as I plan on adding some livestock soon, including a dwarf moray. Want to make sure my guys stay healthy and I don't want to subject them to anything harmful because I didn't catch that something was there. Thanks!
