I heard the same thing, until I did some web research yesterday and they were recommending flow for a chiller between 600-1200 gph. Currently I have it running with my main pump and wanted to isolate it to its own at about 500-600 gph. This is why I was asking about the 2 kinds of pumps.

I am asking because I need another pump to drive my chiller, I hear more flow is better but is too much flow non helpful? I was looking at going around 500 gph through the chiller but did not know what benefit there was to the 2 type of pumps, and if a mag 5 or 7 works better, I could switch out...

14.4 feet for the little giant, 7 feet for the mag 500. this isnt an issue to me, as both would be at the same height.

Is there any benefit over using say a little giant external pump with an approx water flow of 500 gph over say a mag 5 pump that can be used external or submerged with approx the same flow rate? Currently I have a little giant 2-mdq-se pump driving my protein skimmer, and it runs very hot, and...

The nose stripe is not an abrasion, it wraps around to the other side like its a stripe, even on both sides. He is slooooooly getting his color back.

No, noone picks on him as he is the largest in the tank and first in as well. I dont have a naso tang, I have a hippo, sailfin, and a yellow and they all leave him alone.They have all been together for over 3 years.

Just discolored, not swimming correctly, not eating, but today he seems more active. Color still not right, but he is eating. Which is a good sign...

Its a 215 gallon reef tank, water all tested ok, everyone else is doing fine, all inverts, clam, all corals, and also my hippo tang, sailfin tang, and rabbit fish are eating as normal and doing well.

He is not its usual color except a patch at his nose and on his tail, he isn't swimming correctly, or eating at all. Last evening he was fine. His color is dark like he was spooked or stressed. Any suggestions? He is about 4 plus years old, about 12 inches in length and we got him when he was...

Thanks for the suggestions, but unfortunately the clam fell off the rock overnight. I moved him back up top, all seems ok, but the light has not come on yet so I do not know yet for sure. Looks like there might be a small spot where the mantle may have gotten damaged. If so do they repair...

I have had this clam in my tank for over a month, and it has moved itself to the side of the rock it used to be perched on top of. It does have a stronghold to the rock, but my question is: Is this ok, or normal of clams or should I remove it and reposition it? My concern is it isnt facing...

I just noticed a bubble in another stalk, its growing, eh? How do the stalks split and branch as the bubble is in the middle of the head?

I have a 4 branch frogspawn and i recently noticed that one of the stalks has a bubble about the size of a dime in the middle of it. I first noticed 2 nights ago, then it wasnt really showing during the day, but now I notice its there again. Is it growing? is something wrong with it? I dont...

I have a 215 gallon reef tank and had aptasia all over, started with one and quickly spread. I bought 6 peppermint shrimp and even though I have never seen them eat it, all of the aptasia is gone. I noticed that the shrimp are very active at night and hide mostly during the day. Give it a try, I...

Do they hang around for days? Disappear? Get smaller? Move around?
