Aquarium Advice Regular
Hey guys I started to cycle my tank today. Added 3 live rock for now I will add more but there $$. I was at the local fish store Friday and got some crushed coral and a powerhead for the tank. I got the live rock from a better place. When I was at the pet store getting my powerhead I ask them which one I should get. I seen some there for like 15-30 gallon and 30-50 and so on. I was thinking to myself well this is a 27gal tank I will go with the 30. So I ask him (the guy who worked there) and he said you want alot of water movement and told me to get one and heres the specs on it
aquaclear powehead-for 40-70 gallon pumps 400gal and hour. So he says that the one hes use's in his tank which he said was a 25 gallon. So I go thinking its what I need. SO tanks all setup and I have the power head going. Start it water is coming out it crazy. so I turn it down to lowest setting and seems to still be moving very fast. Does this sound ok or should I take it back and get a smaller one.
Also I got a hydrometer to read the salt level and I cant seem to get it write. I will use it and it will look good I check a while late rand it way off.. some trick to it?
