the tank has been running for about 18 months, the bulbs are less than a month old. I do not test my own water I bring it in and have not been told exact readings, just that all is good. I have had the issue for about 3 months and I do vacuum the substrate when I do water changes and do a 20% weekly. As for flow I have 2 maxi jet 1200's just for flow but they are high in the tank, as well as a ???? powerhead for the UV and the Fluval has a spray bar that spand 2/3's of the tank with half at a 45 degree down and the other half about 60 degrees down for direction. It is somewhat like a sheet but I am unable to just pick it up without it falling apart. As for food, I feed once a day and they eat it all, I make sure to watch until it is gone.
