    Hi everyone, I was wondering which one is better for low-end corals, a circulation pump or a wavemaker? I ordered a circulation pump from amazon and it turns out it is a wavemaker. It does not push water straight, rather it pushes water above. Shall I get a circulation pump that pushes water...

    So i came home this afternoon to find my yellow tang suck to the side of my marineland circulation pump. I immediately turned the pump off and he swam off and is still swimming, he's not acting like he's really hurt, just freaked out and swims fine but his eye is sorta popped out. Not like...

    First off, I added a new Circ Pump Koralia 550 to my tank that already had a Maxi Jet 900..1000 GPH. 1550 total. I pretty much have the 1000 aimed at the surface to give it good movement. I do not run a skimmer so I do weekly 10% water changes. Well after I added the second one I have a lot of...

    I just got a Biocube Circulation Pump for my 29 gallon today. Got it set up and it vibrates like crazy! It makes sooo much noise! I tried moving it to different places and everything. Even when it's off the wall it makes so much noise from vibrating. Thinking maybe I could just turn it on at...

    Hey all, I am getting a wave system set up in my tank. I currently have 2-Hydor 1050 circ pumps on either end of my tank pointed slightly down and toward the front glass connected to a hydor wave maker that alternates back and forth every 1 min.

  16. General Reef Discussion
    New to the forum, Amazon reviews ain't enough! I have a 75 gallon I will be turning into a reef/peaceful fish tank, and just want to grow basic softies.

    Hello all. I recently purchased an established Red Sea Max 130 tank and to my dismay there is no powerhead. I have always ran a small 240 gph in my little 12 gallon nano. I was just wondering if a 425 gph would be good for my newly aquired 34 gallon Red Sea. Thanks!

    I have a 28 gal JBJ LED nano I wanted to add a circulation pump to complement the 2 stock heads and skimmer I am running. I was looking at a Koralia 2 but that isn't very stealthy. Any recommendations or is something like the K2 the way to go?? Thanks! Mike ----------------------- Aquarium...
