Oh nice, looks like you've got random flow generating nozzles? I didn't think about changing the nozzles to something bigger and more gentle, makes sense and would probably increase overall flow through tank and filter mediaHere is my aquascape
The RFGs help some. I had the issue with the sand blowing from the front of the tank when I had them facing the front. I also have enough flow that I make a hole in the sand bed if I have them downward facing at all. I have the inTank baskets as well. I'm also going to replace the stock pump with Syncra Silent 1.5 and add a 2nd powerhead. I had thought one powerhead would be enough for this size tank. Once I got my aquascape in I'm wondering if I went too high? I'm about 4" below my current waterline. It's glued solid so I don't know if I want to try to remove the top rock. I also need to find a magnetic scraper that works with the curved glass.Oh nice, looks like you've got random flow generating nozzles?

I have the same ATO running down to a trigger ato 5 gal container. With the lid closed, I can go a couple weeks before the container needs to be refilled.I used the auto aqua smart ATO. Works wonderfully with a 1 gallon jug of top off water. I go through a little more than a gallon a week of water.
Well I’m closing in on one year that I’ve had this tank setup. I will say it accomplished what I hope it would and that was give me the confidence to run and operate a coral tank. Figured I would throw in a picture of the tank. As of right now. iPhones are horrible with blue light so excuse the look. I will be adding more rock in the future. Something along the lines of the Carib sea caves and branches I think. Need to fill in the center with something g without losing my ric garden space or cleaning the back panel.
Stick list consists of 2 paired fire fish. 2 clowns. 3 types of ricordea mushrooms, frogspawn, torch, 5 types of zoas, Duncan and a bright reddish orange mushroom. 10 dwarf blue leg hermits. 2 Halloween hermits and 1 electric blue leg. 6 astrea snails, 2 ninja star snails, 6 ceriths and 1 nassarius. Oh and a amazing looking rock flower that perched itself on the front curve of the glass so you can only see it from the side....
Pretty much what I had in mind. Plus give me a bit more real estate for some drag plugs.I think your tank would look great with an arch you can get the caribsea life rock shape rock ive got an arch in mine and it would look great in yours.
Good luck! The tabk has come a long way in a year!
Can you take a picture of how you did the overflow section? I’m having trouble with my flow. And any suggestions on a return pump to get more surface flowI finally got around to removing one of those bars on the inlet screen where the water surface was blocked. Working great and ZERO surface scum now!
Used a flathead screwdriver to insert in the gaps and push on the little piece I wanted to remove, bending up and down to make it flex and soften, came right out.
This is in combo with removing the top divider that's right behind this overflow section, with the inTank baskets which create a true overflow into the media chambers.
Hopefully this info helps other Fluval Flex 32.5 Saltwater owners in the future!
Look for post #40 in this thread.Can you take a picture of how you did the overflow section? I’m having trouble with my flow. And any suggestions on a return pump to get more surface flow
Are these Fluval Marine lights? What did you use for mounting?What’s up to all!! Got a question has anybody have a problem with the middle chamber water level just going low even when you top it off?
