obsessed1 Posted September 21, 2011 Author Share Posted September 21, 2011 Thanks guys, I just want to make sure I don't have any dead spots in the tank. I have an el cheapo 5000lph one in there at the moment and it does practically nothing. The one I'm looking at has the attachments for the dual heads so I can direct the flow two ways. I just wanted to check that I wouldn't be smashing the fish into the other end of the tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Damo Hi Damo, does the flow out of your 6000lph seem to reach the other end of the tank? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damoq Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 It is a cheap one also that's why I have 2, one at either end of the tank but the beauty of them is that you can pivot them around and change the circulation area to flush out any dead spots that might occur in the tank, they were only $25 or something like that so the cost was not an issue! The other reason they are good is because I bought large nls pellets for my bigger fish but they are floating pellets and I can set the wavemakers so the pellets don't go over my weir into the sump and rot.
