Tangster is trying to steal my thunder and my CORONA!
I put a hydor on 2" of lock line coming out of the back left corner. Its a gizmo that spins 3-4 times a minute sending flow in different directions. $15-20. I agree with Tangster and if he reads this and feels I am wrong, Tang please tell me, its my experience its not tons of flow that is good but flow where you need it. Sounds simple but sometimes is hard to achieve given all the LR and stuff we put in our tanks.

Im not opposed to upgrading the lighting. But would I be able to keep the actinic? What would it cost? And can it be done DIY??
Flow, Calcium, Light...yea, a differently ballgame is an UNDERSTATEMENT Tangster!! I have experience with UVB lighting and Heat Lamps for my turtle, and I created some pretty cool wet/dry filters for my brother's Oscar, but there is a whole new set of rules for SW.
As far as the Corona, WOW Im getting off easy! Im glad I didn't post that pic of my fiance!!  Haha, just kidding. There are some gentlemen here I guess.  |
