| Water Current/flow question
29 gal, fluval 205, 40 lbs sand 14 lbs Live rock.
I have noticed in some videos that there is a lot of current/flow in some tanks . My tank and damsel/firemouth/clown are doing well. Should I be getting something to move the water around faster?
Thats not worded very professional, sorry. (sorta)

Do you currently have a power head?

I agree, the Fluval will just not cut it flow wise. I would get at least one power head preferably two, one in each corner and the fluval out let in the middle | |

Hey Orb a couple of Koralia's would work good. For that size tank maybe a 1 and a 2..possible 2 #2's would be fine. I have an aversion to powerheads in general, especially aquaclear. I had one...it sucked up my favorite urchin, Koralia's are not expensive and not likely to do any harm to your criters.
