Hello All,
So I wanted to ask for some opinions, as well as input from what you personally do, as far as water flow goes.
My question is, do you all have your flow set up in tank to be disturbing the surface of the water tank level, or do you direct your flow more into the tank area. My reason for asking is I guess related to light/lighting.
Currently I have my flow in tank directed up to the surface of the water line, which disturbs the top of the water, as seen in this pic.
Is this good or bad, in your opinion? I dont know why I have it set up the way I do, other than my thought was to break up any surface film/debris that might form on the top layer, but im wondering what this does for the tank inhabitants below, as it ends up causing I guess id call it ripples, that show up on the sand bed from the light reflecting down, im using an AI Prime running a scaled down to 35-40% of the BRS recommendation for the AI Prime, and I am using a 3D Reefing diffuser. Heres what that looks like:
About my tank. Its a Fluval 52L, corals only. Zoas and LPS only. Tank has been up for about a year.
Thanks for your opinions.
