Hello, question about mp 40 users. So my mp40s blowing the sand in the middle of the tank. If I put them higher then they suck air how you guys prevents this other then turning down the percent.
 
Is it a new tank? I would say this is pretty normal with new sand. It is just about finding the right balance until sand isnt as soft to be able to blow around
 
No not new. 2 years. I was using the mp40 guards and didnt really have the problem, but was getting a lot of algae on the 3d printed guards that pain in the butt to clean and also noticed mp40 running hotter with these guards on. I just bought some peroxide to dip the guards which they say dissolves algae.

What type of sand? Special blend sand works good

I think Fiji if I remeber, carrib sea pretty sure. Well at this point can't really change the sand just looking for solution
 
You can mix sands, or change programs to one that works or rearrange rock work around that area. Maybe put a rock down there and see where the new spot is. Might have to chase for a while till you find solution
