[Germanman]

if i didnt have enough water movement wouldnt the pylos and zenia and the anenomes be suffering instead they are growing

not always

no they wont be suffering since they arent mainly filter feeders, they are photosynthetic

you want one that will give u at least 6-8x turnover. so 180-240gph

hmm ive heard 30x flowover rate is best although 20x flow over rate works as well. Which one is true lol

I havent spent any money on saltwater simply cause i dont have one yet lol.

after cleaning the pipes, how quick does the algae return again?

 

[weincsatyoi]

could i add another 550 penquin until i buy one of the biggers ones would that help until i find another

depends on what there certain person is keeping and how the pumps are placed and angled.

maxijet is meant to be a good brand.

Not trying to take over the thread but if you have mainly softies and a few lps in a 20 gallon tank, how much flow?
