[sinner]

hi guys i need advise on the proper pump to be used on a 3foot tank as my sand bed and rocks have been collecting dust... currently using a 1500l pump from my side overflow filter... should i change or leave it as it is and wait for a miricle? if i should change one i'll appreciate more if a make and model is supplied...

Add another powerhead inside the tank to circulate and stir the water a bit lor. I using a Eden 228 PH bought 2ndhand, so far doing a good job. But my return pump,ehiem 1260, can deliver 2500L/Hr. So far can observed the slight current even along the sand bed. My tank is 3ft x 1.5ft x 2.5ft. with 6inch DSB.

you're using the 1260 as a return pump from the sump? actually i prefer the pump to be in the filer compartment (my side overflow filter) as i'm afraid things might get sucked into the powerhead which my ex anemone did

try scwd, might work in ur tank for proper distribution of water circulation....

Wont one lah, you put the PH near to the surface of the water and remove away the unsightly suction sponge below the PH. The rotating PH will sweep the water thus recreating some current. Best is aim the PH flow towards ur return flow so both current will cross at each other.

wat about the size? does it look unslightly? keke if it's too big then no point already... wan my tank to look neat... thought of the tunze but replies from fellow reefers here... it's an overkill for a 3foot

btw i'm using a loc line to split the return flow into 2... at first it's better less diatom but till recently it has become very unsightly

The eden ph is just 5" x 2" x 3" , put in the corner with the black oyama sticker at the back of tank is almost unseen.

The eden doesnt work very well mine jammed and must be serviced regularly.

Sinner can show a pict of your tank? I dont understand your tank layout. Sorry.

You can open up the bottom of ur eden to check the gear if it stop rotating, something must have stuck in between the gears.

Test!

I'm using 2 of these in my 422 tank. Pump I'm using a different brand. Cheap, low wattage and powerfull. You can break the flow using a modular hose split into 2.

[sinner]

[Ian]

Here is picture of the pumps.
