Puffer Chick's 46 Gallon Bowfront Reef

powerhead will get here monday so they will have some time to adjust they will be like WTF where did all this flow come from, i want to face the powerhead towards the bow for crazy water movement but at the same time i want to have it facing the surface to get rid of my film algae at the the surface but at the same time i want it to place it towards the rocks to get rid of my cyano.....UGH i need more powerheads

 

I put mine near the top back right corner facing the center of the bow & down a bit and it seems to draw a lot of surface water and creates a lot of surface movement so you might be able to do all that or a lot of it.

 

that makes sense i like that idea, the back corner is kind of where my birdsnest and acro are they would love the direct flow, hopefully ill be able to do something like that

 

Cool...hope it works out.

 

me too i just want the stupid thing to get here

 

wait i missed it.. what did you order? ( the answer to this might be 9 pages behind...);D

 

haha well i ordered 3 things

1 is a hydro evo 1050 powerhead, and the other two are two female pink margin fairy wrasses, the powerhead will be here monday and the the girls will be here on tuesday

 

How many power heads are you going to have now? How many GPH are you going to be pushing total from your system?

 

i will have two powerheads, thinking i may need one more but i will wait and see after the new powerhead gets here. But the mp20 is running at 2000GPH and the new powerhead will be 1050GPH so i guess that makes it 3,050GPH which is just shy of the total GPH of a MP40 which is 3,200 GPH

 

does that much water flow cause the substrate to fly around like crazy? also does it cause your fish to struggle to swim?
