Lots of questions today. Any help or input would be appreciated!
1) Wave pumps. I have 2 wave pumps in a 55 gallon. both are in the top back corner angled towards the top of the water and towards the center of the glass. Is this good placement? Any suggestions on where to place them? Don't know if this helps but I have a canister filter (fluvial fx4) intake in the bottom corner, output in the upper opposite corner.
2) Water changes. Ive been doing them at a minimum of once per week, sometimes twice. Every time I do them, I've been vacuuming the substrate. Am I removing my good bacteria. Also, should I be just changing the water out, and only vacuuming occasionally. I have Tiger conchs and a Diamond Watchman goby that turns the substrate very well.
3) Where do I get reliable info on corals. What types, how to care for, placement hardiness, etc. Im old school and can't find books specific to this, so reliable websites or information would be great!
4) Anyone have any experience with a coralife seascape LED setup. The manual sucks, and can't find anything on the web for setup, my LFS is no help either. Was given to me new as a gift, until I can afford something better. Best I can tell, I have red and greens off, white at 60%, blue 100%.
Thanks everyone!
