Hi all, I think I saw something on this in another thread but I cant seem to find it now. So if I am being redundant in asking what may have already been answered then I appologize. I am curious about how much water movement to have in a tank. More specifically a 46 gallon bowfront FOWLR...

It is defintanty a true percula, (at least that is what I specifically ordered as they came from liveaquaria since I dont know of any good lfs's around my area). I actually have one of the ones that looks like a percula in the tank already and you can see the differences between it and the new...
