Water movement....

Post by Nannook on Wed Jan 20, 2010 6:05 am

I see many descriptions of requirements talk about water movement. So how can you tell? I have run my tank with my Koralia in various positions. I wish it was variable speed.

I was wondering about some threads I have read where they "slow down" the circulation in the tank in the evening to simulate night. Is this a common practice?

Not that I've heard. I've heard some stuff about doing that, but doesn't it doesn't seem like very many people do it.

Could we do it by turning off a powerhead or two at night if we had them on a controller?

Sorry to ask dumb questions but just trying to understand what this is going to do to the 210 if we add the Tunze and it has the other 2 powerheads. It just seems like a lot of movement for 24hrs.

I've seen the clowns trying to crawl up into the anemones with the current there is now at night.
