| Re: Topic for the week August 7 {Flow} With my new tank set up flow is everything. I plan on having sps only this time and my tank is perfect for it. I have a closed loop drilled, with 4 inputs and its plumbed to an ampmaster 3000. A 25watt uv plumbed to a Gen-X 4100 pump returning to a tee lockline set up so i can counter flow the CL and my return from the fuge. The return is not for flow being it comes from my refugium but still has a nice soft flow to it. Its all counter crosses nicely from what i see when i feed. The surfice is turblant from the motion and creates plenty of oxegen. Its bare bottom, i see no way i could have substrate in there but i got use to it. (looks cleaner) I never was able to keep sps before due to lack of flow and high nutrients in my old tank so thats why im going this route this time. Ill post a picture tomorrow of the plumbing on this thing when the sun comes up. Being a fairly new set up i must say i have no algae or syano at all. just some green on the side glass. NBD. The health of my fish is awesome too. I can tell there very happy in the flow of the tank and are stronge and active. I believe there happy just from the flow alone. My majestic angel, (male) a fish in most home aquariums hides in the rock, loves to be up front and on display. And theres no aggression with the swallow tail angel. (female) |
