    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.

    New2Salt.. i have 3 things to say.

    1. I live Near the Poconos
    2. I was once n maya riveria..nice place
    3. all the fish in my 10gal creek tank are around 1/2 to 1 inch. plus each of them have apart of the tank made to fit their needs. Also i have a pond that is separated in two; i side for koi/goldfish and the other for my sunnny when she gets too big. All the other fish are rewleased to the nearby creek or the lake when they get too large.


    just so ya know.
