And for all you guys: what precautions do you take about intake and outlets? Any coverings, or maybe the flow is too weak to pull/push the horses? Or am I thinking about this too much like they're anemones? |
The fire fish,and goby are definitely fine. Wrasses are usually considered a no-no because of their rapid movements, but I think he will be fine. I just got him today so he's hiding in the rocks more than anything. I have been watching him at the LFS for a few weeks now and he seems pretty docile.
None on my intakes are covered except for the little basket thingies that come with the filters. The 30 has a spray bar return to break up the flow and a MicroJet powerhead for added circulation. The horses love to ride the currents from the powerhead.
The 37 has the single return from the filter and the return from the skimmer, both face the center of the tank. There are plenty of areas with lower flow for them to relax and hitch.
