water movement

Hi, I'm preparing to buy my first fish for my nano reef, the blue green chromis in fact. I wanted to buy a small pack of them for them to school together, but I wasn't so sure they would like my nano tank with quite a bit of current flowing. It's enough where soft corals appear to be moving like...

I currently have 2 hydor koralia 1500 circulation pumps in my 150 tall, and I'm thinking there isn't enough movement in my tank. I'm getting cyano in several dead spots in my rock work, and no matter how i position the pumps it doesn't seem like enough flow. I have the opportunity to buy 3...

Hello! I have a 55 gallon aquarium and I was looking to upgrade my wavemaker. Any recommendations? I have two clownfish and an alveopora coral. Thank you

I currently have one WP-10 and planning to get another one. Would two WP-10 and a WP-25 be overkill for a 40B?

I've read in several places several different things about lighting/flow requirements for Goniaporas. I was wondering, do any of you have them....and if so, what is your experience with what works best for them? Thanks!

I added another circulation pump to my 55 reef tank yesterday because I felt like it needed more flow. I had 2 Aqueon 700's running but felt like there were dead spots. After adding the new Aqueon 950 it's amazing how many particulates come off the rocks. The issue is that I'm afraid that there...

Not getting nearly enough movement from the stock PH's that came with my JBJ 28 nano and was thinking about adding an EcoTech Marine MP10 Vortech to solve the issue. Good? Bad? Other solutions? I hear good things about the MP10 but thought I would fire this out there before spending the $$...
