Happy New Tank to me

As Alex pointed out, depends on species. Some get up to 5', even in captivity (IIRC), while plenty of other species stay 2' or under.

 

No sadly not, I live mostly in a condo in Fort McMurray where we have a marineland 90 gallon cube, with a 35 gallon sump/fuge.

This new tank is in our house in Edmonton, which is 5 hours south of Fort McMurray, I drive almost 4 hours a day to and from work, and still manage to clock 12+ hours a day in the office, driving is great though, I plan my day on the way in and do all my phone calls and dictate my meetings so they can be typed up the following day by heather.

 

wow! I'm impressed with how much you get done every day Ken and accomplish so much in the hobby! Dagg....do I feel lazy! lol

 

I get up at 4 am everyday, to be honest I do very little except work, I usually get a hour to 2 hours "me time" which I spend eating, messing about with the tank(s) or chilling, I have done the same schedule for about 10 years now.

I arrived into Edmonton. Last night at 11.30pm, I left home at 4.30am, worked and drove straight here, my wife drove our car to work as its on the way to Edmonton.

I was up at 5.30 today, laid in bed for 30 mins reading 3 reef and now I am up washing the bugs off the car, which should see my through until 8.30, when. I will get the bike out and hit the LFS for some fish. Food to get my cycle well and truely on the go.

 

wow! I hope you don't think this is prying too much but what do u do for a living?

I have trying to motivate myself back into running regularly. You're definitely inspiring me to get on the move

 

No worries, I am the GM for a accomodation facility on one of the big oil sites, my team looks after a 3100 bed hotel, a fleet of vehicles and the transportation via, rail, road and air of the facility of 5000 employees, we start early and Finnish "never". LoL. 365 days a year, 24 hours a day.

 

I just popped a wp40 onto my tank, It was suggested 2 units, but the waves are pretty great already, I have 1900 gallons per hour from my return pump and 6800 gallons (max) from the 2 power heads, will this be enough, can I lose a power head and just keep the flow at 5300 gallons per hour ? Or do I need to goto the alomost 8000 gallon, the tank is only fowlr no corals.

 

I wouldn't think you'd need a huge amount of flow with a FO. Just my .02.

 

So you think I should be fine with 1 ?
Good because that's where I think I am at.

 

Definitely plenty of flow for FO
