Hi
First time poster, so I hope this isn't a question that has been answered 1000 times already. We got a tank a few months ago. Fluval Evo 13.5/52 litres. All seems to be going well Everything in the tank appears to be doing very well and water testing all fine, both at home and when I take sample to our LFS ("if anything, your water is too clean...").
I want to upgrade the stock pump and add a random flow generator. My question is whether a sicce syncra silent 0.5, plus a VCA random flow generator (picture attached, I think) will be sufficient or will I need a stronger pump? (I don't want to add a wavemaker unless absolutely necessary, mainly for aesthetic reasons). I should admit that I have already ordered the 0.5 pump, but can send it back if I need to! If the advice is wait and see, then that's fine too.
The tank has:
* 4 soft corals (GSP. ricordia, kenyan tree and toadstool) in place for 2 months and doing well
* a torch coral, more recently introduced but looking very happy,
* two clownfish and 2 cardinal fish
* small clean up crew of hermits and an urchin.
Thanks.
