BB/high flow/critters

[Viv]

I get the high flow in the BB, but does the high flow limit the type of animals kept? I'm gonna do the eductor returns to the tank, have 2 tunzes, I know many have CLS with tremendous flow-I would imagine a little clown would have difficulty in a tank with this kind of flow...I've never been diving so I can't judge, I would imagine larger specimens would be better, but not sure....any thoughts...

You might have to lower the flow a bit to keep some coral like Euphyllia (Torch, Hammer, Frogspawn, etc.) and Nemenzophyllia (Fox), but anemones, as a general rule, love strong flow. A clownfish should have no problem. If it does, it should be able to take shelter among the rocks.

New fish, which have been in stagnant bags or low-flow holding tanks for days or weeks may get pushed around a bit when first introduced into a high-flow tank, but that’s almost always nothing compared to the waves and currents they dealt with when they were in the wild. Just give them time, and they will be happily bouncing around in the flow again.

My False perc runs right up to my Seio 1500 as soon as food hits the water and starts swimming into the current. He knowes that if he stays there long enough that food will get blasted right at him.

They look retarded, but they can swim if they want to

Yeah- my fish seem to take turns swimming directly in front of my seio's, watching the other and waiting there turn to "surf"

Thanks for the info, it's down the line for me, but thought maybe I had to go with larger/stronger fish... this is such great fun!!
