mingwen1611 Posted February 7, 2004 Share Posted February 7, 2004 Hi all... I just added a Atman powerhead to my 3 feet tank... it "filters" 2000 L of water an hour... or something like that... but the current's kinda strong once i placed it into the tank.. is it ok for corals like Hammerhead, Frogspawn, a clam and anemones? thankz for all answers....

SRC Member riot Posted February 7, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted February 7, 2004 It depends on how you position your corals. As long as your corals not being whip lashed by the current, there shouldnt be any harm. Also, you might want to avoid blasting the current right at the corals.

SRC Member ben Posted February 7, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted February 7, 2004 this pump is near on the max side for ur 3ft tank. best if u try ways to lessen the pressure. U can add more frictions to the pipings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birman Posted February 8, 2004 Share Posted February 8, 2004 try using a SCWD to alternate the current flow. i've a 3 ft tank too and 1 of my pump is @ 3400l/hr with no problem. however, no direct blow at the corals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
