I am looking for a powerhead for this tank. Finding one is extremely difficult. I found one that might work, but afraid it moves too much water. The particular one I found moves 32 gallons/hour. Thats cycling the tank 16 times in an hours time. Is this too much, just right or not enough? For filtration, I am using a RedSea NANO Filter. So far, it does a wonderful job keeping the water clean. I have had this tank set up for almost 5 months now. My numbers have been perfect except Alk, which is hard to keep high enough. It falls fairly quickly to 2. Adding SeaChems Reef Builder in very small amounts has worked so far. Everything I have put in this tank has survived. What are they?
2 - 3 lbs - Live Sand
2 - 3 lbs - Live Rock (want to add more)
6 - Bumble bee snails
2 - Dwarf Red Leg Hermits
2 - Dwarf Blue Leg Hermits
2 - Zebra Hermits - (Which I hate)
1 - Black tip snail
1 - White tip snail
1 - Yellow Polyp rock - Approx 15 polyps
Lighting is a Coralife 9" - 18Watt 50/50
There is an anenome in this tank that appeared out of no where. He must have hitch hiked in on one of the live rocks that I got. I was told that this type of anenome is very bad. So far he has not harmed anything. I was told that if I put any fish (1 max) in the tank, to remove him prior to doing so.
I don't have an algae problem with this tank as I have had with larger tanks. Maybe I don't have a big enough clean up crew in my larger tanks.
Below are some photos that took with my cellphone. They are not the best, but they get a glimps of what the tank looks like.
The powerhead is my main concern. Everything else is great.
