Current pump

Where is the best place to make you current flow threw. Mine right know is right over my live rock

 

[Reefing Madness]

You want flow throughout the entire tank, dead spots will create nutrient build up and issues. Vortex and Hydors and the like, spread the flow out in a wide area, not just pointed in one directional area.

Yeah I have one pump from petco that is good for 20-50 gallons. Here is a pic of my tank. Please give me feedback

Move 160 gph

 

[fishmaster818]

For 30 g

 

[Reefing Madness]

That's not enough flow. You'd want another power head at 160 for a total of over 300gph. And that's just a start.

My ammonia in my tank is at .25 and it been like that for a week is it bad or is that low enough. I have changed my water and still hasn't gone down. Please help

 

[Reefing Madness]

Your ammonia probably will not come down for a couple weeks. You need Nitrites to take ammonia down, and Nitrates to take down Nitrites. Nitrogen cycle, takes time, 4-6 weeks, some have taken longer.

Will saltwater fish keep growing or will they stop depending on the tank size

 

[Reefing Madness]

Its a crap shoot, most don't grow to their full extent in our systems.

 

[fishmaster818]

So wilk a fish stop growing if the tank isn't big enough for their full length
