I'm not a fan of sea fans... <_< ...anyway..but I know the flow needs to be very strong to feed on plankton as its not photosynthetic but need strong lights to prevent algae from establishing on the fan... hope this helps... If you want more read up, so a search online... sure got infor

IMO...sea fans needs intense lighting and also very vigourous water circulation, as they are photosynthetic and also filter feeders.

they should be placed perpendicular to the water flow, meaning that the water movement should be surging against the broad face of the sea fan.

low water circulation will cause the sea fan to be clogged with debris and hair algae will start to form, causing the demise of the sea fan. a good base is also important, one that is heavy enuff to withstand the strong water movement.

just my 2 cents worth.

:lol:

Hi,

I am keeping a blue fan which had been with me for abt a year and is still doing great.

I place it abt midway up my tank and attach it to on of my lr.

IMO, Sea fans need good lighting and very important to provide them with strong current to help them get rid of the slime and any dirt that might get stuck on it.

I place mine perpendicular to my Tunze 6080.

My Blue Sea Fan below... :whistle
