I have to move my 120 gallon to a new house in 2 weeks. I have an inch and a half of fine sugar sand which has been in tank for 7 months. Is it a good idea to use the same sand ? I would just as soon go to a coarser substrate as I hate how the fish kick this fine sand up. I am just worried as...

so when you say a fuge gets rid of nutrients you mean the detrius and uneaten food settles in the fuge area?

I am looking at a bigger pump also as mine is an ocean runner and only gives me around 300 gph flow. If you use a ball valve will it make the pump hum louder?

I have 2x200 watt visi therm heaters and would like to move them to my sump but it is only deep enough to submerge them about half way. Is this enough?

I have had a dogface puffer for a couple of months now and he has not bothered my crabs or snails so far. I want to add some cleaner shrimps and corals soon. would he likely eat them?

I get a lot of detrius and particles clouding my water partly because I used fine sugar sand. my sump has a nylon bag and sponges before return to tank. what if I used one of the new powerhouse fluval fx5 canisters with polishing media and when water is clear run it empty for tons of flow rather...

my tank is drilled bottom for sump but not for closed loop. the intake would go over top and same for returns.

hi,first post here, my 48x24x24 120 gallon has a seio 820,300 gph return from sump,an aquaclear 275 gph and a small 100 gph behing rock. Is this a good flow combo as I seem to have a lot of detrius kicked up by the fish. also is it ok to put filters on the powerheads to clear the water?
