Flow in QT tank for tangs?

[Willbiker]

I have a 4 foot quarentine tank with a mesh divider in the centre. I'm soon hoping to quarentine 2 tangs , one in each section.

They have lots of pipes for hiding in and a canister filter with media from my main sump. I also have a powerhead aimed at the surface

I have a couple of spare cheap powerheads laying around. Would tangs feel more comfortable with increased flow or am I better off just sticking to the one powerhead for surface agitation?

Good question, Flow in a system is always good. I would suggest now overpowering the flow so that the Tangs can swim without getting blown around.

Maybe someone in #reefsquad has better advice?

At the minute there is almost no flow in the QT tank. It was just a thought..I want them to be as comfortable as possible!

I’d go with lower flow. Test it and see how they react. Best is to keep them comfortable and eating.

We just need to keep water moving.
