Water movement
Boy this has been our biggest struggle. We either have too much or not enough in some areas. We've been battling the red carpet syndrome on the sand, so we went with suggestions of putting a powerhead in the back right side on the bottom and one on the right side towards the top, and for additional movement for the surface we have another one that is pushing the top of the water towards the preskimmer (which is working really well). The two on the sides we have hooked up to a wave maker, oh big problem, not only because they are RIOs, but the fact that we didn't read that Rio's have a label on the cord that says do not use with a wave timer, which is what we have. ::sigh:: we are looking into getting different powerheads but don't want anything bulky, we like how compact the rios are, but if we have to sacrafice for quality then we will do that.
I've attached a pic of the tank, we have (2) 200 rio's and (1) 600 rio that is the one that is in the bottom back and has really made some trenches in the back from it.
Would love comments, suggestions, help! Thanks!
Oh btw, it's a 29 gallon, with HOB CPRBakpak 2R skimmer, with CPR 11" HOB fuge. None of the fish or corals seem to be affected by the volume of the current, it's just trying to get enough movement to get rid of the red carpet stuff on the sand. Only feed the fish once in the morning and once at night.
