Coralife Circulation Pump Question...

[sanchezkk]

I just purchased and installed a new Coralife CP1300 Circulation Pump. Now, I have a 55g FOWLR start-up and I am a total beginner waiting for my tank to cycle. I am using pure ammonia to cycle my tank. Would someone give me some feedback about my Circulation pump purchase?
Thanks

This is my starter FOWLR Tank.

What are you asking? like if the corallife is a good circulation pump? or if it is enough for your tank

 

[sanchezkk]

Yes, to both questions... Or do I need 2 circulation pumps?

You have those two HOB filters with this pump. I think eventually you should get another one and put it on the other side. For as big as your tank is, I feel that the one side will be dead if that makes since.

How long do you think I can get away with it?

 

[xtra51]

You could go a long time without it. Like when you have more money from a paycheck go for it. If you had corals I would worry of dead spots, but since you have a FOWLER you are good

You just don't know how awesome that sounds to me.

If you want to know if its a good brand for a pump, then read all the reviews on amazon and other online stores. I like to see everything by stars and read the bad comments first before good comments.

Well, I did as you suggested and most of the reputable sites do not have any reviews for this product as of yet.

Haha I'm sure someone will say I am wrong, but I truly feel you are good and don't really need to worry about it.

Your product will most likely work. Write a review on it after keeping it for a few months.

I most definitely will do!
