Aquarium Advice Apprentice
Newbie here!
I have a small 17 gallon tank - 14"x12"x18" (width x depth x height). It's been running for three months now. All I have now is a damsel and I just recently added a cup (should've researched and planned it out before purchasing).
I'm hoping to make this into a mini-reefer.
How does one determine the correct waterflow. Also, what direction? My LFS told me to point the powerhead so that the flow disturbs the surface of the water.
I have two RIO 180 powerheads running (with the waterflow turned down because I don't want a cyclone in my tank)
I plan on purchasing some Key rock from liverock.com, also.
Btw, are those microbubbles acceptable? Is there a way to get rid of them or are microbubbles a good thing?
Thanks everyone!
p.s. this site is awesome! i'm learning so much!
