New! Big Tank Club!
Thought I would start a new thread, the last one was breaking 20 pages on what to do next, my tank is cycled?!
Well tonight after I get back from rheinlander, my friend whos dad gave me the coral frags, notifies me that he is going up to rheinlander tomorrow and asked if I needed anything else or forgot anything today. I'm kind of thinking I should get some sort of powerhead for the other side of my tank, not that I actually have some corals, it may be necessary! What do you guys recommend for my situation? All i have for flow right now is the return from my mag 7 on the far right side of my tank at an angle, it covers that half of the tank with pretty decent flow through my diffuser/return. Also I have my el-cheapo hang on filter i left on when I added the sump to remove some excess debris from the water. I wanna either A.) get rid of it completely or B.) put it in my fuge? just to have some mechanical filtration
What do you guys think I should do with it? Ive been cleaning out the filter every few days and its pretty full of debris. I could modify it if needed to fit in my sump. I think it would just add more noise under my tank, it would be quite a waterfall drop from the top of the tank to the fuge, and add a bunch more bubbles...
Back to the powerhead issue, I wanna text him tomorrow morning and tell him to pick up one for me i think, what would be appropriate? Think I will get away with 1 more for the other side of my tank? What are some good models? I like the input from the forums! The mag 7 is working great, the skimmer and overflow as well, in fact everything!
My corals seem to be doing alright the last few hours, within a minute after the lights cut they curled up and hid, except the leathers still have all the polyps stuck out, is that normal or are my moon lights too bright? Will my fish be able to sleep with all 4 of my white LED moon lights on? My friends dad electrical taped over all of his except 1 because he said his fish didnt sleep with them on, but do fish even sleep?
That one wierd curcled up coral he gave me opened up more when the lights went out, could it be a nocturnal coral of some type?
I just wanna know what it is so i can place it right, maybe it just hates the faster flowing water on that side of the tank? or its too far down and its not getting enough light when they are on?
