Hey, I think it was one of you two that said you had two #4 koralias and a #2 in a cave or something in a 90 gallon tank. I was wondering if you could post a picture of the tank for powerhead placement. I had 2 #2's and everyone said that wasnt enough for a 90 gallon so I got 2 #4's and now even without the #'2 going it seems like I can't find a calm spot in the tank for my corals that don't need a ton of flow. I have a kenya tree and a couple pulsing xenias.
It should also be nothed that I have a wave tank. not a wave maker, an actual tank that has wavy glass on the front. In case this makes a difference on the placement.
Im also getting a spot almost dead center in the tank that the sand keeps moving out of this area right down to the bare glass. I have a 2" sand bed.
Im hoping it was one of you two that had that configuration, but i dont remember for sure.
Thanks

Hi Cranberry,
I was asking Fret about Mantis shrimp and she referred me to you. I was wondering if you might be able to tell me about them. all i know is that they are beautiful, Viscious and have really cool looking eyes and appendages. Is there any fish or crustys they can live with?
Im really interested in getting a mantis shrimp tank sometime down the road but i want to do some research on the propper way to care for them.Anything you could tell me would be greatly apperciated.!

Hey Handbanana, I suggust you should start your own thread in the inverts board instead of posting in other peoples. I dind't mind in mine because it was well..my thread. Wasn't getting a ton of replies anyways, but other people might not be so nice about it. lol I know you can't PM yet, but until then start a thread.

+1!! Well said my friend! I hate when people do this to me. At least if it had something to do with this thread and it was just a little off shoot question, but, come on.
Anyways, I think 2 Koralia 4s and two Koralia 2's in a 90G is overkill. What is your return pump rated at? I had the exact same amount of Koralia PH's in my 155! You may want to invest in a unit that turns differnt PH's on at different times so that you're not blasting your corals and fish all day and night.

BTLDreef,
I'm just using the two #4's right now. I hadnt intended on using the #2's anymore.
Don't fish get the same action day and night in the ocean?

I have 2 #4 and 2 moded maxi-jet in a 75gal. (I need alot of flow) and I'm not blowing thing over. I might move the top layer of sand in front middle every now a then but it's not much. The 2 #4's(on a wave maker) are on each end one mod in the back pushing down the glass and the other mod is on the back up high just under the water surface.

my rock formation is temporary for a few more days so I didnt really want to glue any of the frags i have to anything in case when I change things around it desnt work out real well. But if i leave them my kenya tree only gets about 1/4 height and tips over obviously. My zoas are so small tehy get blown off whereever i put them (only 4 polyps on each piece I have) and my xenia just doesnt seem very happy, probbaly because I keep moving it :p
I'll give both #4's a try again.

I just noticed your request...here ya go.
I did my best at showing my water flow for my 90g. I use 1 #4 and 2 #3s in the back and 1 #2 for my cave. The little #1 I use for churning my saltwater when I mix it and no longer have it in the tank. I have 2 canister filters. One output tube is pointed to the surface of the water and the other has a spray bar attached vertically for water flow behind my rocks.
Oh and a picture of Mine and my Moms menorahs tonight…Happy Chanukah! Shabbat Shalom.
