Blinky said:LOL when it comes to filtration I think I have issues with 'letting go'. My canister has sponges and bio-media along with the carbon; I figured since my tank is FOWLR a few nitrates wouldn't really matter (and there will likely be macro in the tank sucking it up anyway). Maybe after the holidays I'll invest in some more rock for the tank and just fill the bottom canister basket with LR rubble. A friend of mine has sponges in his canister, they're filled with pods! They eat the detritus on the sponges and provide him with a source of food for the tank. I was hoping this would happen in mine too
Mooch, the powerheads are top left and top right corners, each pointed diagonally towards the front. Along with the spraybar from the canister, they create a pretty good amount of flow even near the bottom. I'll add another PH farther down if I need to, but I like having them out of the way if possible.
Blinky hhow far down from the top of your tank are the powerheads, and are they pointed up??
the reason i ask is, because im planning on using the Carib sea (suger sized) argamax substrate. The last thing i wan't is sand flying all over my tank.
