    Water flow question...

    I have a 55 gallon and I have one Korlia 2 and a Korlia 4 on the way. My dad might ship some more power heads down my way if I need them. Is the Korlia 2 and 4 enough? Is there anything such as TOO MUCH water flow?

    20 gallon sump on 55 gallon tank?

    What do you guys think about this? It is a 20 long aquarium, since everybody seems to use sumps for better filtration..could this work? What do I need in order to set it up as a sump? I know I need a HOB overflow filter, but what else?

    You will need LR as well for a good filter as well. LR is a must need. If you cycle your tank now, you MAY be able to get it by the 15th, which is one month of cycling. Some people use one piece of Raw Shrimp to speed up the cycle. Patience is the key in this hobby. pH should be at 8.0-8.3...
