What about their positioning and water flow?

[Skipper32]

some of those i placed on the sand bed are opening up well but not for those i placed slightly higher onto the rocks.... flow rather adequate......only one direction....

can see most of e LS in my 2.5ft tank except e boxer and hermit crab.....

[angmoh]

perhaps u should add more LR ?

just my 2 cents.

[Skipper32]

yaya...intend to get some more but with mushies on them too....

cos tank small if too many lr then not mush rm for fish to swim around too...

[barnacle]

bro,.....sorry called u bro. u dun mind ha??

care to share equipment u use?? and i see u using power

head with sponge attached to it, no good bro. unless

u got time to clean it everyday.

[Skipper32]

i was thnking of having it as a filter and same time prevent my ls kana injured by e suction.....so far k...not very dirty maybe cos not much ls inside yet...will consider ur advice...thx.

[barnacle]

that kinda of filter definitely not suitable for marine....

u cannot judge water quality by looking at the sponge. test for no3, u'll be

surprise.....

I am also using sponge filter in the sump to catch any sizable debris. Cleans it weekly. Makes no diff to the nitrate level, they are just as high.

Skipper, is that sponge-pump meant for water flow? If got enuf flow, just remove the pump la. Adds heat and electric bills u know.

[Skipper32]

is for water flow lei....not enough....but temp still k w fan
