My Tank Thread
Figuring out how to perfect water flow in your tank can be a challenge!! You're trying to find the best flow patterns & rates, pump placement, meet coral needs, not stir up the sand bed (but keep food suspended in the water column), eliminate dead spots, consider aquascape patterns and obstructions, and that's just getting started. Then as coral grows or as other changes occur, it's a rinse and repeat process. So today let's talk about tips for perfecting the water flow in your reef tank! Here are a few questions to help get us going:
1) What are some helpful tips/practices you put into practice when trying to figure out how to plan for flow in a reef tank? (Please include flow rates, placement tips, ...anything you think is helpful)
2) What are some of the biggest frustrations when trying to figure out flow in a reef tank? (What are some of the struggles that you're maybe even hoping others might address)
3) What is your process for troubleshooting flow issues in a tank?
