Why is water circulation important in your aquarium? There are many reasons. if your tank is a reef it helps corals remove there waste. Another thing i have learned is with good circulation it provides exercise for your fish which keeps fat from forming in there liver. There are many other benifits so feel free to post.

Helps keep the detritus suspended for the Skimmer or overflow to grab it.
