circulation
when i first got this tank i had some new ideas about circulation. i would watch my circulation after feeding the fish.. this time is the perfect time to watch and figure out fan and powerhead placement. after the fish filled their little bellys i would go in the tank and move fans and power heads... now no waste collects at the bottom and the fish have a little current they swim in at the front of the tank... one fan blows toward the filter intakes, a undersand powerhead i adapted myself blows waste toward the canister filter intake. the other fan blows down slightly in the front to bring the fish forward for some swimming... the araetion bars in the back aid in surface and front to back current lifting food and fish waste to hit the fans and then the filters pick it up... all this happens in about five minutes no matter where the particle it get circulated into the filter... a rather smart circulation on my behalf... pics in a moment...
